What You'll Do
Join MasterControl's Context Engineering team and build real product features using AI developmenttools (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) from day one.
The unique opportunity: Most internships have you working in isolation. Here, what you learn directlytranslates into improving the developer experience across the organization. You'll use GenAI tools to buildfeatures faster, then help optimize those same tools and practices for 150+ engineers. Your insights as anew user of these tools will be invaluable in refining how we work.

You'll contribute to two main projects:

Primary: MissionControl — our open-source agent work-management and monitoring desktop app.MissionControl gives teams visibility into and control over their AI agent work: work items, agents,sessions, and git worktrees, with review gates and observability built in. 

You'll work across the wholeproduct:

• Core app: React/TypeScript web UI and server — work item management, agent sessionobservability, worktree workflows, and review gates
• MCP server and tooling: the Model Context Protocol surface used to drive and observe agent work
• Rust launcher: self-upgrading per-platform launcher with supply-chain hardening and mandatorychecksum verification
• Website: the Astro marketing site
  

Secondary: AI-tool usage analytics— build systems to track and improve how engineers use AI toolsacross the company, including data collection servers, analytics dashboards, and cloud infrastructure onKubernetes.

Key Responsibilities

• Build full-stack features for MissionControl: React/TypeScript web UI, server, and MCP tools
• Contribute to the Rust self-upgrading launcher and its supply-chain hardening
• Write comprehensive tests (unit, integration, end-to-end) using Vitest and Playwright
• Create data pipelines and work with PostgreSQL databases handling millions of records 
• Deploy services to Kubernetes and set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
• Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) for rapid development, test generation,and code reviews
  

Tech Stack
Languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, and whatever languages are best suited to the productoutcomes we need

Frontend: React, Material-UI, Astro (website), Vitest (testing), Playwright (end-to-end testing)

Backend & tooling: Node.js, MCP (Model Context Protocol), Jira/Atlassian APIs, PostgreSQL

Infrastructure: Kubernetes (container orchestration), Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD)

GenAI Tools: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode

Requirements

• Self-directed learner who actively seeks out information and experiments with new technologies
• Self-starter who takes initiative and makes progress without constant direction
• Ability to understand complex systems and break down problems step by step
• Resourceful problem-solver who uses AI tools, documentation, and code examples
• Strong communicator who explains concepts clearly and works well with other
• Comfortable with uncertainty and changing requirements
  

What You'll Learn

• How to build MCP servers and GenAI developer tooling that agents use to do real work
• Context engineering: how to represent work, architecture, and process so AI agents can reasonabout it
• Full-stack development: React/TypeScript frontend, Node.js server, and Rust systemsprogramming
• API design, cloud deployment, and comprehensive testing strategies
• Code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, security and supply-chain requirements, and documentationpractices
