About The Position
We're hiring AI Developer Interns to help build an AI-powered testing platform that transforms how Dayforce implementations are validated.

Our goal is to reduce that effort by more than 50% through intelligent automation. As an AI Developer Intern, you'll contribute directly to the development of production software that combines modern AI capabilities with test automation. You'll work alongside software engineers and implementation consultants to understand real customer testing processes, identify automation opportunities, prototype AI-driven solutions, and measure the impact of your work. This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience building agentic AI applications while solving meaningful business problems that directly improve implementation efficiency.
