This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of software engineering and client solutions, where interns are treated as full-time engineers with significant ownership and responsibility.

As an FDSE Intern, you'll be working directly with customers to solve their most critical challenges using Palantir's data-driven platforms.

The role requires travel (25-50%) to client sites, offering exposure to various industries and institutions.

What makes this opportunity unique is the combination of startup-like responsibility with the resources and stability of an established tech company. You'll be working on real projects that customers rely on, with the support of experienced mentors. The role is perfect for candidates graduating in 2027 who have a strong engineering background and proficiency in programming languages like Python, Java, C++, or TypeScript/JavaScript.

The compensation is competitive at $10,000/month, and Palantir offers a culture that celebrates individual strengths and provides multiple pathways to success. The hybrid work environment balances in-person collaboration with flexibility, fostering both innovation and work-life balance. If you're passionate about using technology to solve complex real-world problems and want to make a meaningful impact while developing your technical and professional skills, this internship offers an exceptional opportunity to do so.
