Job description

💥 Are you passionate about leveraging data and AI to solve real-world problems? Sibyl is offering an exciting internship opportunity for aspiring Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to join our team in Paris. Specializing in deploying Palantir’s platforms, Foundry and AIP, we aim to deliver impactful solutions across various industries.

Sibyl - Impact driven & Bias to action

Sibyl aims to build first-class professional services with end-to-end support for the main commercial platforms developed by Palantir, Foundry and AIP.

With our extensive 10+ years of expertise in deploying boots-on-the-ground with customers, we’re keen to rely on a trusted partnership with Palantir to spearhead impactful deployments. From supporting customer Excellence centers with guidance, to spearheading scoping for novel use cases, or even balancing cost-to-opportunity analysis for GenAI use cases, our offers center on impact.

Palantir - 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, Palantir’s platforms empower their partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more. This is where Sibyl comes in: we help deliver these impactful workflows, in a variety of settings and formats. From direct hand-in-hand customer interaction, to supporting and guiding Data Operations teams in making the right decisions.

What The Internship is About

This internship is designed for driven, technically minded students who want hands-on experience at the intersection of engineering, data, and business impact. You’ll be embedded in a team of experienced Forward Deployed Engineers and work directly on real client engagements.

At its core, the FDE role is fundamentally an engineering role, but with a crucial twist. Unlike traditional software engineers, FDEs bring their advanced technical expertise directly to the frontlines, working closely with clients. As an intern, you’ll get to experience this firsthand: building data pipelines, developing software solutions, and seeing how your work translates into tangible outcomes for customers.

You’ll immerse yourself in our customers’ most intricate workflows, partner with customer teams, explore the data, and dive into the product landscape.

No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

  • Go onsite and meet with experts ranging from data scientists to machinery specialists to understand the critical questions they need to answer and locate their biggest problems

  • Identify relevant datasets through deep engagement with customer problems and workflows

  • Integrate data into a stable and extensible pipeline

  • Work with the customer to build customized workflows for new user groups

  • Contribute to training sessions and demos to new and existing customers

  • Support the scoping and presentation of results to audiences ranging from analysts to C-suite executives


Preferred experience

What We Value

  • Curiosity and initiative: you dig into problems and don’t wait to be told what to do

  • Low ego, because the outcome matters more than who gets the credit

  • Ability to confront open-ended problems in unstructured environments

  • Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, ask questions, and grow fast

What We Require

  • Currently pursuing an engineering degree (Computer Science, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent)

  • Solid foundations in software development (Python, Pandas, etc.)

  • Interest in data engineering, infrastructure, and system integration

  • Available for an internship of 4 to 6 months

  • Paris-based (ability to travel occasionally)

  • [Optional-Bonus] French fluency
