The Software Engineer, New Grad role

Dev-track new grads (‘one capability, many customers’, versus Forward Deployed’s ‘one customer, many capabilities’) contribute directly to Gotham, Foundry or Apollo on small Product Development teams, involved from prototype through shipping, paired with a mentor. Team placement matches interview strengths to current business needs; there is no traditional career ladder.

No dated cohort: evergreen new-grad reqs across five US cities plus London and Singapore, hiring continuously; new grads join small decentralized product teams with a dedicated mentor and relocation for 50+ mile moves.

Worth knowing: Palantir’s new-grad reqs are evergreen — the New York posting was created in July 2021 and is still accepting applications — and every US variant posts the identical $145,000–$155,000 base.
