This role offers an exceptional opportunity to work on industry-leading data-driven software solutions that make a real-world impact. As an intern, you'll be directly contributing to major products like Palantir Gotham, Foundry, and Apollo, which are used by prestigious organizations across public and private sectors.

The position offers hands-on experience in building enterprise-scale software solutions, working with modern technologies including Java, Go, TypeScript, and various open-source tools. You'll be part of small, focused teams while having the opportunity to collaborate across the organization with engineers, product managers, and designers. The role emphasizes ownership, independent thinking, and direct impact on product development.

What makes this opportunity unique is the real-world impact of your work. You might find yourself creating features used by research scientists, aerospace engineers, or intelligence analysts.

Palantir's culture emphasizes individual growth, technical excellence, and real-world problem-solving. You'll be expected to learn quickly, take ownership of projects, and work effectively with diverse teams. The role requires strong technical fundamentals, but more importantly, it needs someone who can adapt, learn, and contribute to solving some of the world's most challenging problems through software engineering.
