Summer 2027 T-Ads Software Engineering Internship

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

You’ll join T-Ads, the Ad-Tech business unit of T-Mobile. We’re a small, tight-knit team of engineers based mostly in our Philadelphia office, with teammates in New York City, Amsterdam and other US locations. Our culture is collaborative and low-ego. Your voice counts from day one, and code reviews are a normal part of the week. Small enough to be seen, big enough to matter: our always-on, real-time bidding system serves real users at high scale.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work on the platform behind Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising, the software that plans, buys, delivers and measures campaigns on digital billboards and transit-station screens. You’ll own a project from start to finish, such as the real-time bidstream, backend services, dynamic creative or the web tools our teams and customers use. Your work will help T-Mobile stay ahead in a fast-moving ad-tech market.

Key Responsibilities

• Write, review and test production-ready code as part of a team of engineers
• Plan and break down a project from start to finish with your mentor, Product, Design and Quality Assurance
• Learn the tech stack and systems that support your project
• Give and receive feedback through code reviews
• Ship productionized code that real users depend on
• Demo your project to the broader engineering organization at the end of the internship

What It Takes

• Experience with at least one language (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go or Scala) and Git
• Something real you’ve built: a team project, hackathon, prior internship or open-source work
• Familiarity with web or backend development (React, REST APIs, SQL) is a plus
• Curiosity, a collaborative mindset, and a habit of challenging assumptions and moving with urgency
• Willingness to learn quickly, adapt, and make sound technical decisions as part of a team

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

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.
