    What It's Like

    The Messaging team plays a critical role at T-Mobile by delivering reliable and scalable messaging services that support both consumer and enterprise communication. These services enable text, picture, and application-to-person (A2P) messaging, which are essential for campaigns, one-time passwords (OTP), notifications, and business‑critical communications. By ensuring secure, high‑quality messaging, the team helps drive customer engagement, trust, and revenue growth.

    What You'll Do

    The individual will be responsible for building automation for messaging services and developing Power BI reports to streamline processes, support operational efficiency, and reduce time to market. This includes designing automated workflows that enhance service reliability, eliminate manual effort, and improve visibility into key performance metrics. Additionally, the role will involve collaborating with cross‑functional teams to understand reporting needs, optimize dashboards, and ensure data accuracy. Through these efforts, the intern will contribute to enabling faster decision‑making and supporting the continued growth of T‑Mobile's messaging ecosystem.

    Engineering background: The ideal candidate will bring foundational knowledge in engineering principles, with an interest in applying those skills to large‑scale messaging platforms and telecom systems. They should be comfortable approaching technical challenges with analytical thinking, problem‑solving methodologies, and a willingness to learn new tools and technologies. This background will support their ability to design and implement automation, contribute to data‑driven reporting solutions, and engage effectively with engineers, architects, and cross‑functional partners. An engineering mindset will also help the individual understand system dependencies, performance behaviors, and architectural trade‑offs as they support the growth and optimization of T‑Mobile's messaging ecosystem.
