Software Engineer, Internship - Data Connectors
Team: Dev
Location: New York, NY
Commitment: Internship
Workplace Type: onsite
A World-Changing Company
Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and 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, and more.
The Role
The Connectivity team builds products that connect our most critical institutions to their most critical data. Our connectors integrate databases, enterprise applications, cloud storage, web services, and streaming systems, enabling customers to bring data into Foundry and write back to their operational systems. From large datasets to real-time events and user-driven interactions, these connections underpin the applications and AI workflows customers build with Foundry and AIP.
You’ll help build Foundry’s first-class connector suite and the shared infrastructure behind it. You’ll work across the stack, taking ownership of connector implementations, developer SDKs, and the systems that build, test, distribute, and run our connectivity software.
Working alongside experienced engineers, you will take on real problems in our production systems. That could mean adding a capability to a Connector, contributing to the infrastructure that runs our assets, or building features to ensure the performance, reliability, and observability of our connectivity suite. You will see your work through design, code review, testing, and release.
Core Responsibilities
- Build and maintain Foundry’s first-class connectors, improving performance and extending support for imports, exports, change data capture, interactive queries, and writeback as external systems and customer needs evolve.
- Improve the infrastructure that builds, tests, packages, and distributes connectors and shared libraries, including tooling across our connector monorepo.
- Design and maintain connectivity SDKs for internal teams and end users, with clear APIs, documentation, testing utilities, and development workflows that make integrations easy to author and maintain.
- Collaborate with product teams to integrate connector execution with job orchestration, streaming, and serverless platforms.
- Debug production issues and performance problems across the stack, turning recurring support problems into durable fixes, automated tests, and better observability.
Technologies We Use
- Java and Python for connectors, backend services, and developer SDKs
- Open-source technologies like Kafka, Kubernetes, Flink, Debezium, Iceberg
- Gradle for builds and GitHub for collaboration
- Shared job orchestration, streaming, serverless execution, and compute deployment platforms
What We Value
- Curiosity about how data connection systems work, from productized connectors to the infrastructure required to run them
- An ownership mindset and a high bar for correctness, security, and automated testing, including responsibility for how software behaves in production.
- Comfort following problems across languages, APIs, services, networks, and execution environments
- Eagerness to learn, ask questions, and incorporate feedback
What We Require
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, or a similar field, or equivalent practical experience
- Proficiency in at least one language such as Java, Python, or Go
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Coursework, projects, or practical experience in one or more of computer networks, distributed systems, databases, cloud computing, or software architecture.
- 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.
