Descrição da oferta de emprego

Granter is building an AI agent that handles grants end-to-end. The AI Grant Consultant helps companies discover funding opportunities, draft stronger proposals faster, and manage funded projects after approval. Our mission is to enable businesses of all sizes to leverage incentives to grow and innovate. We are deeply involved in the Portuguese startup ecosystem and were the winners of the Web Summit Pitch Competition 2025.

We are now looking for an AI Agent Engineer.

What This Role Involves

Be part of the tech team, working closely with engineering, product, and leadership and building features end-to-end

Take ownership of problems and move them forward without waiting for perfect specs

Take decisions, not just implement. You will help define how things are built

This is not a "just ship tickets" role. We expect engineers to stay close to the problems and product outcomes, not just code

Build AI agents in practice and integrate them into real product flows

Use AI as part of your development workflow. We welcome it as a tool to move faster, not a replacement for engineering judgment

What We Are Looking For

We care more about evidence than years, but some fundamentals matter. You should have strong software engineering background and real hands-on experience building agents.

Experience

5+ years in software development

1+ year specifically building AI agents

Additional Plus

Experience using AI-assisted development tools effectively (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) is a plus

Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is a plus

Experience working in a startup environment

Core Skills

Strong Python skills, including async/await, and solid backend fundamentals

Hands‑on experience building AI agentic systems (RAG, tool calling, memory, orchestration, etc)

Hands‑on experience with LangChain and LangGraph including LLM providers, model trade‑offs, prompt tuning, tools, chains, and structured outputs

Good engineering hygiene, including Git, CI/CD, and testing practices

Nice to have: AG‑UI or similar, Django, Celery, Docker, Azure

Communication

Clear and direct communicator

Fluent in English and Portuguese

Able to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs

Can write good prompts (yes, this goes as a communication skill)

Location Requirement

This role requires physical presence in Lisbon.

Please do not apply if you are not currently based in Lisbon.

Mindset

Strong ownership and ability to move problems forward without waiting for perfect specs

Motivated by building in a startup environment and being close to product and real‑world impact

How We Like to Work

We aim to build a team of high‑agency builders - people who take initiative, move problems forward, and don’t wait for permission to improve things. You’ll likely do well here if you:

Take ownership

Focus on outcomes, not just outputs

Move ideas forward quickly through testing and iteration

Communicate clearly and give direct, no‑B.S. feedback

Collaborate effectively across disciplines

Are curious about AI and how technology reshapes work

Granter is still early in its journey, and we are serious about creating an environment where things get built. People here tend to befriend each other and often stay engaged with the team beyond the strict boundaries of work. We regularly spend time together through team activities and startup ecosystem events.

If that excites you, we’d love to hear from you. If it scares you, this may not be the right place, and that’s okay.
