Software Engineering Intern, AI Labs

About the role

AI Labs is Paylocity's rapid-experimentation function — we test real AI opportunities fast, prove or kill them with evidence in weeks rather than quarters. This summer, you'll join our founding early-career engineering team in the Rochester, NY area (Pittsford), working hands-on on real AI Labs bets alongside a dedicated technical manager and a small team of Associate Software Engineers. This internship is the entry point into that team's ongoing pipeline: at the end of the summer, a limited number of interns will be offered full-time Associate Software Engineer roles on the same team. This role reports to the Engineering Manager, AI Labs (Rochester), for the duration of the internship.

Responsibilities

• Spend the summer embedded with the Rochester-based AI Labs team, contributing real, shipped work on active AI Labs bets under close mentorship.
• Use frontier AI tools as part of your daily workflow.
• Participate in the team's agile process: sprint planning, code review, demos, retros.
