Granter is building an AI Grant Consultant
, an AI agent that handles grants for your organization, end-to-end
. It 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 a Quality Engineer
.
You will be responsible for quality across the product
. That means understanding how the system works end-to-end, validating new features, identifying risks early, and building the systems that ensure quality over time.
You will start hands-on. The goal is to progressively automate the parts that matter most.
Part of the product includes AI-powered features and requires structured evaluations (e.g. LLM-as-a-Judge) and new approaches to testing. You don’t need prior AI experience
, but you should be curious and willing to learn
.
What This Role Involves
What We Are Looking For
We care more about evidence
than years, but this role requires hands-on experience working on real products.
Experience
Additional Plus
Core Skills
Communication
Clear and direct communicator
Able to document issues clearly and make them easy to act on
Fluent in English
and Portuguese
Mindset
High standards and a strong sense of ownership
Strong structured thinking
and problem solving
Perseverance to go deep and do the work required to get things right
Curiosity
about how AI systems work
How We Like to Work
We aim to build a team of high-agency builders
You’ll likely do well here if you:
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.
