As an intern within Palantir’s Foundations organization, you’ll have the opportunity to grow more quickly than you ever imagined, as you build the shared infrastructure that underpins the Palantir Foundry, Palantir Gotham, and Palantir Apollo platforms, and drive investments to improve the velocity and quality of our engineering.\nTeams within Palantir’s Foundations organization are made up of a small number of engineers, each focused on one of four major categories of our infrastructure:\nBackend Infrastructure: Maximizes the productivity of our backend developers and ensures Palantir’s platforms have performant and consistent RESTful services. Think: making the “easy way” the “right way” when developing backend services, including designing infrastructure to build hundreds of micro-service repos performantly, or to ensure we keep reliable audit logs of everything users do in our platforms.\nDeveloper Infrastructure: Operates the systems and services that underpin all aspects of our developer ecosystem, including off-the-shelf tooling like GitHub and custom tooling for managing automated changes across hundreds of repositories.\nFrontend Infrastructure: Maximizes frontend developer productivity across the entire frontend development stack, from the developer experience in the IDE to the final user experience in the browser. Think: the core infrastructure required to develop and serve our frontends (including features flags, internationalization, and commit previews), performant build tooling for millions of lines of TypeScript, and the Blueprint open source UI framework.\nStorage Infrastructure: Develops Palantir’s database and search systems, which includes supporting storage technologies across cloud, on-premise, and classified or secure environments. This includes evolving our existing technologies to support ever-increasing data scale and latency requirements, and designing the next evolution of our database offering to provide step-change improvements in particular workflows.\nCore Responsibilities\nAs a Software Engineering Intern in Foundations, your projects may include building features to improve the developer experience for other Palantir engineers, or improving the scalability and reliability of Palantir’s platforms.\nYou’ll be involved throughout the product lifecycle, from idea generation and design, to execution and rollout, all while being paired with a mentor dedicated to your growth and success. You'll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand our developers' and customers' problems and build infrastructure to tackle them.\nTechnologies We Use\nIt doesn’t matter what languages you know when you join us, but it does matter that you can write clean, effective code and learn new languages quickly. Our software is constantly evolving, so we need engineers who can do the same. Alongside peers that bring diverse experience - whether you’re a former university TA, switched to CS recently, or are a hackathon enthusiast - you'll build your skills to apply the best technology to solve a given problem. Right now, we use:\nVarying languages, including Java and Go for backend and TypeScript for frontend\nOpen-source technologies like Cassandra, Spark, Elasticsearch, React, and Redux\nIndustry-standard build tooling, including Gradle, CircleCI, and GitHub\nWhat We Value\nPassion for helping other developers build better applications.\nEmpathy for the impact your changes will have on the workflows and productivity of developers and end users.\nAbility to communicate and collaborate with a variety of individuals, including engineers, users and non-technical team members.\nWillingness to learn and make decisions independently, and the ability to ask questions when needed.\nActive US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.\nWhat We Require\nEngineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, or Physics.\nFamiliarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.\nExperience coding in programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, or similar languages.\nMust be planning on graduating in 2028. This should be your final internship before graduating.\nTo apply, please submit the following:\nAn updated resume / CV - please do so in PDF format.\nThoughtful responses to our application questions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4690,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Integration & ETL Tools","Decision Intelligence","Defense AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-08-19T09:48:43Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T22:04:07Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 207 · green card filings: 38","filings_12m":207,"filings_prev_12m":125,"green_card_filings_12m":38,"median_offered_wage_usd":150949,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":74}],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.113,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":423,"expected_fill_days":116,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","ghost","win:tail","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/palantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/palantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T08:40:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12899,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":24},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=24"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpalantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpalantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpalantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/palantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpalantir-technologies-software-engineer-internship-infrastructure"}]}
