As a Software Engineering Intern at Socratix AI, you’ll work directly with our founding team to build production-grade AI systems used by real fraud and risk teams. This is not a “side project” internship - you’ll ship meaningful features, contribute to live systems, and help shape the product from 0 → 1.
You’ll gain hands-on experience building AI agents, backend systems, and scalable infrastructure while learning what it takes to build a high-growth startup from the ground up.
If you’re excited about AI, ownership, and moving fast, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do
- Learn by building - Work on real agentic AI systems (Python + FastAPI): APIs, multi-agent workflows, and integrations that power enterprise products in critical industries.
- Ship real features - Contribute to LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, and agent orchestration that customers use today.
- Work alongside the team - Collaborate with founders and senior engineers on real roadmap items, not side tasks.
- Grow your craft - Help improve reliability, performance, and scalability while getting feedback and mentorship.
- See impact fast - Be part of customer feedback loops and quick iteration so you see how your work matters.
We treat interns as part of the team: you’ll own real work, get clear feedback, and see your code in production.
What We’re Looking For
Must-haves:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science or related field.
- Strong fundamentals in data structures and algorithms.
- Experience with Python or another backend language.
- Familiarity with APIs and web services.
- Curiosity about AI/ML systems and how they work in production.
- Builder mindset - you like shipping real things, not just coursework.
Nice-to-haves (but not required):
- Builder mindset - You’ve shipped something beyond coursework: side projects, hackathons, or contributions to real codebases.
- Exposure to agentic development - Interest or experience with multi-agent systems, agent orchestration, or workflow-style AI (e.g. LangChain, tool use, agent frameworks).
- Experience with LLMs in practice - Any hands-on with LLMs, RAG, embeddings, or prompt engineering, even in personal or academic projects.
What You’ll Gain
- Direct mentorship from founders who’ve built and scaled AI systems at DoorDash, Cruise, LinkedIn, and Unit21.
- Exposure to enterprise customers and real-world AI deployment challenges.
- End-to-end ownership of impactful features.
- Insight into startup execution, fundraising, and product strategy.
- Opportunity to convert to a full-time role based on performance.
