We are now accepting applications for our 2025 Developer Winter Fellowship! Final submission deadline is January 10th, 2025 at 12:00PM EST.
The Developer Winter Fellowship is an insight experience for students looking to accelerate their personal and technical growth in preparation for a successful, impactful career in tech. This is a self-guided, remote program during which you will have the unique opportunity to build groundbreaking projects using Palantir's AI Platform – AIP, during your university's winter break. The program officially runs from December 16, 2024-January 10, 2025.
For the first time ever, Fellowship winners will have an expedited path toward a 2025 Summer Internship or Full-Time Role at Palantir. All participants will receive a certificate of participation, a special Palantir swag item, and a guaranteed expedited application review for 2025 summer internship or new grad roles at Palantir. Following the conclusion of the program and presentations, the top winning projects will be selected & invited to one of our US offices for an evening amongst Palantirians, a special presentation of the winning projects, and the opportunity to meet with our hiring managers.
What You'll Do:- Identify a Problem & Innovate with Data: This is your opportunity to identify a problem you care about, and come up with your own solution. We’ll provide some examples to get you inspired, and you are encouraged to bring any publicly available data to enrich your project.
- Push your limits: AIP is a platform built for developers. Expand your technical skillset by building code-forward use cases leveraging the Ontology Software Development Kit (OSDK), Large Language Models and your favorite frontend framework.
- Build & Create: Develop cutting-edge solutions using AIP, with guidance and support from experienced Palantirians to help you succeed. Find some examples below for inspiration!
