Forward Deployed Academy 1 Week Hiring Bootcamp (on-site, Denver, USA)

Unit8, founded in 2017, is a high-tech, dynamic Swiss leader in AI and data analytics consulting, renowned for solving complex challenges in traditional industries such as automotive, chemical, financial services, manufacturing, and pharma. Our esteemed partnerships with industry giants like Palantir, NVIDIA, and OpenAI underscore our commitment to excellence. With over 200 successful projects and a team of 150+ talented professionals across Switzerland, Poland, and Germany, we are now expanding our footprint to the USA.

Unit8 is dedicated to driving AI adoption in non-digital industries, accelerating their digital transformation. We invest in projects that matter, including pro-bono initiatives and "engineering for good" causes.

FDE Academy USA is a one-week, in-person bootcamp at our Denver Tech Center office. You'll spend five days building real solutions on Palantir Foundry alongside our engineering team — no lectures, no theory-only sessions, just hands-on education on a realistic use case. At the end of the week, our top performers walk away with a job offer to join Unit8 as a Forward Deployed Engineer.

No prior Foundry experience required. We're looking for people who learn fast, think in systems, and are energized by ambiguous problems — not people who already know the platform.

• Day 1 — Foundry fundamentals, environment setup, your first guided build
• Day 2–4 — Applied build sprints: ontology modeling, data pipelines, and a Workshop application, with our engineers pairing alongside you through a realistic but self-contained challenge that mirrors real client work
• Day 5 — Present what you built
• On the next Monday - top performers get a call from our recruiting team

• Recent or upcoming graduate in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field
• Solid CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, databases, and at least one general-purpose language (Python, Java, TypeScript, or similar)
• Coursework, personal projects, hackathons, or internships that show you can build, not just study
• Comfort with ambiguity and a fast learning curve — you won't know Foundry/AIP yet, and that's fine
• Curiosity about how data platforms power real decisions in industries like manufacturing, energy, and financial services

• Format: Fully in-person, Denver Tech Center (DTC), CO
• Duration: 1 week
• Equipment: Bring your laptop
• Cohort: Small group, working closely on realistic challenges with Unit8 engineers all week

Submit your CV and complete a short technical assessment. We'll confirm your spot in the cohort ahead of the bootcamp week.
