Software Engineer, Internship - Infrastructure

The Role

Software Engineers at Palantir drive large-scale transformation through data, AI and world-leading infrastructure that supports mission-critical workloads. As an engineer within Palantir's Infrastructure teams, you'll have the opportunity to grow more quickly than you ever imagined as you contribute high-quality code directly to:

• The shared infrastructure underpinning Palantir Foundry, Palantir Gotham and Palantir Apollo - platforms deployed at the most important institutions across the public and private sectors
• Rubix and Mission Manager, our new internal-infrastructure business line, used by advanced civil and defence agencies worldwide to power their infrastructure in highly sensitive environments
• The substrate on which Palantir deploys Foundry and Gotham, powering workflows for research scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts and economic forecasters

This means driving investments that improve the velocity and quality of our engineering. Infrastructure at Palantir spans our Foundations, Production Infrastructure and Foundry teams.

Teams within Palantir's Foundations organisation are made up of a small number of engineers, each focused on one of four major categories of our infrastructure:

• Backend Infrastructure
• Developer Infrastructure
• Frontend Infrastructure
• Storage Infrastructure

Production Infrastructure organisation, made up of small teams of engineers working on:

• Environment Platform: a Kubernetes-based PaaS spanning hundreds of production clusters
• Apollo: secure, fleet-wide deployment and change-management for complex microservice suites
• Signals: our full suite of observability and alerting tools

Foundry itself is also a developer platform, and many of our users are developers. You'll be building tools used by people who build. As a result, applicants may also be considered for other infrastructure roles within the Foundry product team.

What We Value

• Passion for helping other developers build better applications.
• Empathy for the impact your changes will have on the workflows and productivity of developers and end users.
• Ability to communicate and collaborate with a variety of individuals, including engineers, users and non-technical team members.
• Willingness to learn and make decisions independently, and the ability to ask questions when needed.

What We Require

• Engineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, or Physics.
• Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.
• Experience coding in programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, or similar languages.
• Must be planning on graduating in 2028. This should be your final internship before graduating.

To apply, please submit the following:

• An updated resume / CV - please do so in PDF format.
• Thoughtful responses to our application questions.
