Learning Culture
We have a strong culture of self-improvement at Palantir, so an eagerness to go on courses, study and read is a must. Senior staff are expected to provide mentorship as well as to run seminars and discussion groups.Simple is Better than Complex
At Palantir we try and focus on pragmatic and simple solutions. It is easy to add complexity to a program; much harder to add functionality whilst keeping things simple.Craftsmanship
We take pride in our work, and subscribe to the principles of Software Craftsmanship. Pragmatism over idealism, function over form, delivery over process.Internships
If your or your university is interested in internships, please contact us at internships@palantir.co.za. At Palantir, your internship will not consist of fetching coffee and performing administrative work; you will be expected to produce real code for incubation projects. We only consider internships for students near the top of their class who have shown a real interest in software development through their extra curricular activities.Current Positions
