A potential pandemic looms as lesser-known diseases threaten global health.

How can they ensure adequate vaccine stock, manage distribution costs, and prioritise the right diseases to vaccinate against? That's where you come in.

Over four days at Palantir, you will use your problem-solving and data skills to devise a solution to this notional scenario! Armed with cutting-edge technology, and helped by our own engineers, you will develop a solution to a problem that has challenged countries across the globe. If this sounds interesting to you, then read on to find out how to apply for Palantir's Hacking for Health Summer Bootcamp.

The bootcamp is a four-day insight into the world of tech. You’ll get a crash course in the fundamentals of solving problems with data. We’ll teach you how to break down complex real world problems and build data-driven solutions using Palantir’s Foundry. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the career opportunities available in technology, as well as a foundation of technical skills that you can take forward into your studies and career (eg. ETL pipelines, TypeScript, system design).

Through interactive workshops and hands-on sessions, you’ll work collaboratively with your fellow bootcampers on challenging, motivating problems; developing your skills, and broadening your perspective on the possibilities of engineering. You'll then get to apply all of these skills to a problem facing the world today - vaccine rollout.

You’ll also find that our internal community is full of people who are excited to meet you, build community with you, and further your development. You’ll have a breadth of opportunity to learn about the different technical roles at Palantir and connect with us to find out more about our journeys into tech.
