About the role

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.

Socratix builds AI coworkers for fraud and risk teams so that humans don't have to spend their days drowning in alerts and spreadsheets.

Today, fraud and risk teams at fintechs and banks are overwhelmed. Analysts jump between tools, manually stitch together context, and make judgment calls under pressure, often for hundreds of alerts a week. Too much of their work is slow, repetitive, and error-prone. We're here to change that.

Socratix gives fraud and risk teams AI coworkers that investigate alerts in real time, replacing manual reviews with fast, explainable decisions. Socratix agents plug into existing workflows and reason across signals just like human analysts to help teams reduce fraud losses, minimize false positives, and scale operations without scaling headcount.

We've seen this problem firsthand. At DoorDash, Riya helped save $30M+ a year by building smarter fraud detection and investigation tooling, and at Unit21, she built products for analysts that made them 3X faster. We're able to build and sell enterprise-grade software. At Cruise, Satya built scalable AI systems powering petabyte-scale data, and at LinkedIn, he built enterprise products from 0 to 1 generating $50M+ in incremental revenue. Now, the two of us are teaming up to eliminate the manual toil in fraud and risk.

We're obsessed with fraud, LLMs, real-world automation, and the messy edge cases traditional ML has trouble handling. We believe that every fraud analyst should have an AI coworker - and the future of fraud will involve combining human-level reasoning with machine-speed execution.
