Key skills for this role
AI Labs is Paylocity's team for rapid AI experimentation — we test and validate new AI-driven ideas quickly, with a bias toward hands-on building over long planning cycles. We're growing a new, early-career-focused engineering team based in the Rochester, NY area. You'll join a small, founding team of early-career engineers based in the Rochester, NY area (Pittsford), working hands-on across real AI Labs bets under a dedicated technical manager.
Solid foundation in software engineering fundamentals like data structures, algorithms, and at least one modern programming language built through coursework, internships, or personal projects.
Comfortable picking up new languages and stacks quickly; familiarity with .NET/C# is a plus.
Genuinely curious about AI technologies, with real interest in integrating AI services and LLMs into working software, not just reading about them.
Fluent, or eager to quickly become fluent, in frontier AI tools (Claude, Copilot, or similar) as part of your daily workflow.
Curious and growth-oriented, energized by learning something new every week.
Looking for real ownership and mentorship early in your career, not a rotation through busywork.
Based in the Rochester, NY area, working hybrid alongside your team and manager.
Graduated within the last 12 months from a Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related program (or equivalent experience).
