What is covered: Software Engineer and Forward Deployed Software Engineer, New Grad track (London)

“Yes, we are supportive of visas and have a great Mobility Team who can help answer any questions or work through nuances of living and working abroad.”
Palantir, from its own careers pages
The catch: This FAQ answer is global, not explicitly UK-scoped, so it does not itself confirm the Skilled Worker route specifically. Palantir does government/defence-adjacent work, but no nationality or security-clearance restriction was found on this page for the general SWE track (unlike GCHQ/NCSC) - not fully ruled out either, since only the FAQ panel was checked.
