Palantir Technologies - Forward Deployed Software Engineer, New Grad
Responsibilities
• To solve mission-critical problems by deploying software and AI into the high stakes operations of the world’s leading institutions. This requires a ruthless commitment to truth-seeking and prioritizing real outcomes. • The work is difficult. The stakes are real. You will work in small, high-trust teams and own projects end-to-end, from the first conversation with a customer, to shipping the product that changes how they operate. You will embed with the customer, the chaos, and the consequences, and will be entrusted with real ownership to: • Collaborate with engineers to make architecture and design decisions • Wrestle with data at a scale that breaks assumptions and demands invention • Build custom applications, LLM workflows, and production solutions engineered for a specific customer's reality • Own relationships with stakeholders from the users in the weeds to the executives making the calls • As a New Grad, you will be entrusted with responsibility on day 1. You will not be handed a ticket queue. You will not be shielded from the customer, the chaos, or the consequences. FDEs are entrusted with real ownership, operating with real autonomy, and held to a real standard, no matter their tenure. • The drive to solve your customer’s problem. This can translate to: • Going where you’re needed most — Embed where and when it matters. Expect 25–50% travel, depending on team and location. • Agency — You learn continuously, make decisions with incomplete information, and don't wait to be told what to do next. • Embracing the ambiguity — You operate effectively in teams that mix technical and non-technical people, in environments where the objectives shift, the users push back, and the solution demands iteration. • Intrinsic motivations — You solve hard technical problems (data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks) not because you were assigned to, but because that's what it takes to achieve your outcomes. • Ruthless goal orientation — You do not operate within a product’s existing boundaries and limitations. You push past them, rewrite them, or discard them entirely. • What We Require • Engineering degree, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, 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 graduating in December 2026 or Spring 2027. • To apply, please submit the following: • An updated resume / CV - please do so in PDF format. • Thoughtful responses to our application questions.
