American Tech Fellowship for Veterans

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, power decisions on the battlefield, locate missing children, and more.

Applications are open now through 1 June 2026.

The Program

In the 20th century, America pioneered mass production. We built the Arsenal of Democracy, won WWII & the Cold War, and then left the Arsenal to rust. Silicon Valley, a product of the Heartland, turned its back on the American worker.

It’s time to reawaken the giant.

The same spirit of practical innovation that enabled America to dominate the previous century lives on in every American factory, workshop, and garage today. The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence poses risks, but also the opportunity for a technological and industrial renaissance.

Palantir launched the American Tech Fellowship to arm Americans with the skills to deploy cutting-edge software in the workforce. Fellows will have an opportunity to explore and build on Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) and earn a professional certification in its use. Exceptional performers will earn an opportunity to interview for a role at Palantir or partner companies, where they can use their newfound skills to contribute to the reindustrialization and revival of America.

This fellowship is about more than careers—it's about restoring the promise that hard work and determination can still change your life in America. It's an investment in American excellence, evidence of our belief that America's greatest builders are still to be discovered.

The American worker, given the right tools and opportunity, remains our competitive advantage. It’s time to prove it.

The Role

In this fellowship, you'll participate in a comprehensive virtual training program with our partner, Ontologize, to level up your technical skills on Foundry and AIP. You'll learn how to deploy Palantir's cutting-edge software to solve tough problems in enterprise settings and have the opportunity to engage directly with Palantir engineers and leadership.

The fellowship will run for 12 weeks, starting on 7 July 2026 running through 25 September 2026. Participants are expected to attend live virtual sessions on two weeknights each week. We will also have optional sessions once a week and office hours throughout the duration of the program. Participants can anticipate dedicating a total of 5 to 10 hours per week to instruction and project work throughout the fellowship. Exceptional performers will have opportunities to interview for full-time employment opportunities at Palantir and our partner companies.

The window for submitting American Tech Fellowship applications is now through 1 June 2026. This program provides valuable training to participants and is unpaid.
