Backend Intern: Improve the AI Engine That Catches Pay Errors

Help improve the AI that finds the errors humans miss.

Pay errors are common, yet very few payslips ever get checked. At PayTjek we use AI and machine learning to find those errors in seconds, so trade unions can catch them and set things right for their members. As our backend intern, you will help make that engine even better.

PayTjek checks payslips and employment contracts against Danish collective agreements. We combine the latest within AI and machine learning with a deterministic rule engine: AI reads documents and extracts the rules from collective agreements, and the rule engine makes sure the result is correct. Not a model that guesses. Our customers are trade unions that use PayTjek to find pay errors for their members and document them so a claim can be raised. The system checks 12 payslips in 90 seconds.

Korrekthed. Ikke sandsynlighed. Correctness, not probability.

We are a young company with big ambitions. Our goal is to make payslip checks a natural part of what every trade union offers its members, first in Denmark and then across Europe. You will work alongside a small team of highly skilled people, with a background in formal verification from DTU, and you will have real influence from day one. Our first full-time developer started with us as an intern.
