What You'll Do

Join MasterControl's Context Engineering team and build real product features using AI development tools (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) from day one.

The unique opportunity: Most internships have you working in isolation. Here, what you learn directly translates into improving the developer experience across the organization. You'll use GenAI tools to build features 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 work trees, with review gates and observability built in.

You'll work across the whole product:

Core app: React/TypeScript web UI and server — work item management, agent session observability, work tree 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 mandatory checksum verification

Website: the Astro marketing site

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

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 Vi test 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 product outcomes we need

Frontend: React, Material-UI, Astro (website), Vi test (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 reason about it

Full-stack development: React/TypeScript frontend, Node.js server, and Rust systems programming

API design, cloud deployment, and comprehensive testing strategies

Code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, security and supply-chain requirements, and documentation practices

Position intended for students of Northeastern University as part of the Co-op Program, but all applications will be considered.
