Job Description:

Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. Our customers rely on Palantir’s platforms for some of their most critical operations, and projects often start with an open ended question like 'How do we evaluate wildfire risk and optimise a power grid as a result' or 'How do we quickly assess our food supply chain and modify it to deliver life saving assistance on time?' As an FDSE, you’ll apply your problem solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world. You’ll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to some of the world’s most important industries and institutions.

Job Responsibility:

  • Work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them
  • Apply problem solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world
  • Work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects
  • Discuss architecture with fellow engineers, wrangle massive-scale data, code a custom web app, speak with customer executives, or establish strategy for your team
  • Take responsibility for real world projects and outcomes that our customers rely on

Requirements:

  • Security clearance or the ability to obtain a clearance
  • Engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science
  • Proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
  • Must be planning on graduating in 2027
  • This should be your final internship before graduating

Nice to have:

  • Willingness and interest to travel as needed to client sites
  • Ability to travel 25-50% preferred
  • Ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal direction
  • Ability to collaborate in teams of technical and non-technical individuals, and comfortable working in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users
  • An eagerness to creatively solve technical problems with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools
  • Interest in working with and using large scale data to solve valuable business problems
