AI R&D Intern

🧠 About Granter.ai

At Granter.ai, we are on a mission to democratize business access to grants by building the world’s first AI Grant Agent—an intelligent solution designed to revolutionize how companies discover, apply for, and secure funding.

Launched in 2023, we’ve already supported 3,000+ companies and helped submit over €20M in grant applications. Now, we’re pushing the boundaries even further with cutting-edge AI research.

💻 The Internship

We’re looking for a hands-on, technically curious student who wants to embed in an early-stage startup, learn fast, and grow faster. This is a challenging and high-reward role for someone who’s excited to explore how Generative AI can be applied to real-world use cases.

You’ll join our product team and work directly with our CTO and engineers to run R&D experiments that improve the quality of AI-generated grant applications.

Your work will involve:

• Researching and conceptualizing new AI techniques (we’re exploring GAN-like systems!)

• Designing and running experiments

• Evaluating AI outputs with human-centered metrics

• Turning experiments into real features in our live product
  

🎯 Who We’re Looking For

You should be:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s student in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or a related field

• Excited about Generative AI, large language models, or applied ML

• Comfortable with Python

• Curious, proactive, and eager to learn by doing

• Comfortable working in Portuguese and English
  

🌟 What You’ll Get

• Mentorship from the CTO and close collaboration with the product team

• A hybrid work setup — mix of remote work and in-person collaboration at Startup Lisboa (Rua da Prata)

• A small base salary to support lunch and transportation

• A flexible, hands-on internship designed for people who want to learn fast and grow faster

• Potential to continue with us after the internship if there's mutual interest
