Description

Alongside partners with organizations to drive digital transformation and build high-performing tech teams.

Requirements

• Eligibility for IEFP Professional Internship (mandatory);
• Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or similar;
• Knowledge of React, Next.js, Node.js, REST APIs and databases;
• Strong motivation to learn and grow as a Fullstack Developer;
• Proven hands-on experience with AI projects (academic, personal or freelance);
• Experience building or experimenting with AI agents, agentic workflows or AI-powered automations;
• Responsibility, teamwork, and proactivity;
• Good English.

Nice to Have

• Experience using AI coding tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor or Claude;
• Familiarity with AI APIs and agent frameworks;
• Interest in prompt engineering and workflow optimization;
• Basic knowledge of cloud platforms or DevOps concepts.

Benefits

• Hybrid working model (Porto Office);

• Participation in real-world projects;
• Exposure to modern AI tools and workflows;
