Palantir builds the world's leading software for data-driven decisions & operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, & more.

Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems & design & implement solutions to use data against them. Our customers rely on Palantir's platforms for some of their most critical operations. As an FDSE working in our defense business, you will help defense customers plan & execute operations, understand their personnel & equipment footprint, & communicate in real-time with mission partners & legacy systems. You'll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into & contribute to some of the world's most critical challenges.

As an FDSE Intern, your responsibilities look similar to those at a small startup, with the resources, stability & mentorship of an established tech company: You'll work in small teams with minimal supervision & own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects. As an FDSE Defense Tech Intern - you will be supporting work specifically focusing on delivering our Palantir Defense capabilities to our most critical mission partners. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer contacts, or establishing strategy for your team.

FDSE Defense Tech Interns are treated just like full time engineers, with significant freedom & ownership over their work. Interns take responsibility for real world projects & outcomes that our customers rely on.
