Job description

T-Mobile is synonymous with innovation-and you could be part of the team that disrupted an entire industry! We reinvented customer service, brought real 5G to the nation, and now we’re shaping the future of technology in wireless and beyond. Our work is as exciting as it is rewarding, so consider the career opportunity below as your invitation to grow with us, make big things happen with us, above all, #BEYOU with us. Together, we won’t stop!

Get hands-on experience, training—and a leg up on a bright future.

T-Mobile didn’t become a leader by following the playbook. We got here by breaking it. We’re a disruptor that now plays on a higher tier, and we’re still raising the bar for millions of customers nationwide. If you want to work somewhere that sets the standard instead of matching it, this is your place.

This is an 11-week paid learning experience where you’ll do real work, not busywork. You’ll build relationships with other interns and leaders across the company, and you’ll be paired with mentors who will challenge you to grow skills that matter. We’ll give you hands-on projects with real stakes, and we expect your creativity and sharp ideas to make an immediate impact. You’ll work alongside T-Mobile employees who have your back and who still believe the best ideas can come from anyone.

What It’s Like:

Our team builds and operates the data pipelines and platforms that turn T-Mobile’s network, customer, and operational data into trusted insights. Our work enables analytics, reporting, and decision-making across the business. You’ll join a collaborative team of engineers who value learning and ownership. You’ll work with modern cloud and big data tools at a scale few companies can offer.

What You’ll Do:

You’ll own a project that designs, builds, and tests a data pipeline for a real business use case. You’ll work with engineers to ingest, transform, and validate data from multiple sources. Your work will improve data quality, speed, and availability for the teams that depend on it. You’ll present your results to team leaders at the end of the summer.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and test ETL/ELT pipelines using SQL and Python
• Ingest and transform data from multiple sources into the cloud data platform
• Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and documentation
• Collaborate in agile ceremonies, code reviews, and team meetings
• Present project outcomes and learnings to the team and leadership

What It Takes

Currently pursuing a Bachelors or Masters in CS, Data Science, or a related field. Experience with SQL and Python or Java. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and with Git. Coursework or projects in databases, data structures, or big data. Strong communication skills and a willingness to learn.

Minimum Qualifications

• At least 18 years of age
• Legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future
• Must have one or more course(s) remaining in a Bachelors or Graduate degree program post internship
• Employees of T-Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile are ineligible for external Summer Internships, please see Magenta Accelerator if interested

Benefits:

• Relocation assistance will be provided to program participants who reside more than 50 miles from the internship location.
• Intern wages range from $27/hour to $50/hour. The successful candidate’s actual pay will be based on education/STEM vs non-STEM designation.
