What It's Like:

The AI Platform Engineering team builds the foundational systems that power AI across T-Mobile. We design and operate shared platforms that make it easy, safe, and reliable for teams to deploy and scale AI-powered applications. Interns work on real infrastructure used by multiple teams, improving reliability, developer experience, and operational excellence. Your work enables AI engineers to move faster while meeting enterprise-scale requirements.

What You'll Do:

• Prototype AI platform capabilities focused on Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication.

• Build proof-of-concept solutions that demonstrate how agents share context, coordinate, and operate across systems.

• Evaluate design patterns, tradeoffs, and developer experience for emerging AI platform standards.

• Produce working prototypes and documentation that inform future platform and product decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build shared platform components and reference implementations that enable agent coordination, context propagation, and integration across services.

• Design and prototype observability for AI platforms, including tracing agent interactions, context flow, and failure modes

• Evaluate platform-level concerns such as scalability, reliability, and developer experience for emerging AI standards.

What It Takes:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience in Python, Java, Go, or TypeScript.

• Interest in AI platform engineering concepts, including agent-based systems and context management.

• Familiarity with LLM-powered applications and agent frameworks (usage and integration, not model training).

• Understanding of APIs, distributed system basics, and platform observability concepts.

• Exposure to Docker, cloud platforms, and collaborative development workflows.
