- Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.
- Experience coding in programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, JavaScript, or similar languages.
- Must be planning on graduating in 2028. This should be your final internship before graduating.
- Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.
- As a Software Engineer, you are involved throughout the product lifecycle - from idea generation, design, and prototyping to execution and shipping while also being paired with a mentor dedicated to your growth and success.

0%A Motley Fool article suggests five stocks for investors with $1,000 to spend: Palantir Technologies, AGNC, Eli Lilly, SoFi Technologies, and Berkshire Hathaway. Splitting the money five ways means $200 each, so fractional shares are needed for pricier names. Palantir is the growth pick. Its second-quarter revenue rose 93% year over year, though it trades at 178 times trailing-12-month earnings. AGNC, a mortgage real estate investment trust, is the income pick, with a dividend yield of 16.6%. Eli Lilly, the only healthcare company worth $1 trillion, saw second-quarter sales climb 48%. SoFi is the fintech pick, with adjusted net revenue up 40%. Berkshire Hathaway, now led by Greg Abel, is the stability pick.
Palantir Technologies shares fell 0.59% to $207.76 on October 13, even as Baird raised its price target on the AI-software provider to $250 from $200, a 25% increase. The company's second-quarter revenue was $1.935 billion, with GAAP operating income of $912 million, a margin of about 47.1%. Stock-based compensation reached $265.2 million, about 13.7% of revenue. Palantir expects third-quarter revenue of $2.160 billion to $2.164 billion. The shares trade 11.57% above the $186.21 GF Value estimate. Investors are paying a premium for future growth, and stock compensation makes dilution worth watching.
Palantir Technologies raised its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to between $8.15 billion and $8.158 billion on August 3, up from $7.66 billion. Management called it the largest full-year revenue guidance raise in the company's history. US revenue grew 115% year on year in the second quarter. The company also lifted its US commercial revenue guide to more than $3.424 billion from $3.22 billion, and raised adjusted free cash flow guidance. No line was lowered. The shares closed at $209.00 on October 12, above both their 50-day average of $178.70 and 200-day average of $152.41. The stock trades at 166.3 times earnings, against 21.9 for the S&P 500. The guide implies about $4.6 billion of revenue in the last two quarters. Third-quarter guidance is $2.16 billion to $2.164 billion.
Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) shares slipped about 1.1% to $206.90 at 12:20 EST, even as analysts set higher targets. Barclays initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a $265 target, implying roughly 28% upside. Goldman's $230 target implies a gain of about 11%. US demand drives the interest. Second-quarter US commercial revenue reached $764 million and US government revenue totalled $809 million, together about 81.3% of roughly $1.935 billion in total revenue. Shares trade 11.28% above GuruFocus's $185.92 GF Value estimate. The test now is whether deployments produce recurring revenue without engineering costs rising as fast.
Ondas, a counter-drone technology company, has partnered with Palantir Technologies to launch Regna AI, a standalone private company serving defence customers. Regna AI will build specialised AI models for missions involving drones, surveillance balloons, ground vehicles, and unmanned vessels. Its platform will support intelligence gathering, threat assessment, and mission planning, with human operators approving decisions. The company will focus on sovereign AI, letting governments control their models, sensitive data, and computing infrastructure. It plans to start with military surveillance before expanding into security, critical infrastructure, and industrial operations. The launch follows Ondas' recent defence orders, including a $56 million contract for a European military drone program. Its new orders since June 30 total more than $270 million.
