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 Palantir Design Team is responsible for the human experience of using our software. Our team is growing rapidly, but we're committed to creating a tight-knit team environment that fosters trust, integrity, empathy, and growth. We work together in realizing a shared product vision, and regularly give feedback and critique to each other.

Designing at Palantir is a varied experience. On a given day, you might be: leading a design sprint for your product team; designing a micro-interaction to make a complex analytical task feel simple; and/or advocating for UX consistency by creating flexible, reusable UI components.

Core Responsibilities

• As a Product Design intern, your responsibilities look similar to a full-time designer, with the resources, stability, and mentorship of an established tech company. You'll work on product teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of real product features. You will work with fellow Designers, Product Managers, Developers, and Forward Deployed Engineers to refine and evolve the quality of Palantir products.
• Interaction and visual design. As a product designer, you'll be involved at every stage of design work. You'll help define early product concepts, flesh out the high-level workflow and micro-interactions of a feature, and execute on a crisp and effective visual design. You should have experience designing and prototyping using tools such as Figma.
• User research. We frequently do informal user research, and value people who can be flexible with research processes and methodologies to achieve the right outcome. You'll often visit customer offices to interview and learn from the users we serve. You'll pair qualitative methods (e.g. scripted usability tests and contextual inquiry) with quantitative information, like product and usage metrics.
• Deliver and communicate designs in close collaboration. We work closely with product and forward deployed engineers to realize our design ideas. You'll treat engineers and product managers as partners and collaborate with them to prototype and build out products.
• Awareness of how software interfaces are built. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Typescript is appreciated. You don't need to be an expert-just fluent enough to collaborate with engineers, and know what's possible with frontend technologies.

What We Value

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to build great relationships with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders, and convey and debate design rationale.
• High empathy and dedication to the user, striving to understand and empower them.
• Strong ability to iterate through the design process, give and receive critiques, and rapidly incorporate feedback.
• Willingness to learn and make decisions independently, and the ability to ask questions when needed.

What We Require

• Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.
• Must be planning on graduating in 2027. This should be your final internship before graduating.
• A portfolio demonstrating at least one software interface design project. If parts of your portfolio are password-protected, please include your portfolio password under 'Additional Questions' when applying.
