Internship Deloitte Computer Science Jobs in Durham, NC

Our Deloitte AI & Engineering team to transform technology platforms, drive innovation, and help make a significant impact on our clients' success. You'll work alongside talented professionals reimagining and reengineering operations and processes that are critical to businesses. Your contributions can help clients improve financial performance, accelerate new digital ventures, and fuel growth through innovation.

Work You'll Do

As an Agentic Capability Engineer, you will operate as a platform-focused engineer who designs, builds, and maintains the agentic infrastructure that powers AI-driven delivery at scale. The ACE develops AI agents, agent systems, crafting reusable prompt and context engineering patterns, building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, and integrating platforms that enable other orchestrators to work.

Additionally, you will:

• Design agent system architecture and implement DevSecOps practices for AI workflows
• Build and maintain AI agents, agent systems, and reusable skills/workflows for delivery teams
• Develop and govern prompt, context engineering patterns that produce consistent, high-quality outputs
• Stand up MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, CLI tools, and agent testing frameworks
• Deliver platform configuration and integrations (CI/CD pipelines, repositories, environments, guardrails)
• Standardize orchestration components-templates, harnesses, observability-for enterprise reuse
• Improve reliability, performance, and maintainability of agent delivery capabilities over time
• Provide technical guidance to ADEs and AEMs on effective use of agentic infrastructure

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to lead projects or workstreams

• Track record of staying current with rapidly evolving AI tools and contributing improvements proactively

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled.
