AI & Data Engineer
Join Rise — a single family office — to ship real AI & automation tools from Lisbon. Small team, direct CTO mentorship, full ownership from day one. Stack: LLMs, MCP, n8n, Azure, Python.
Who We Are
Rise is the Single Family Office of Olivier Brourhant — founder and Executive Chairman of Mantu, an international consulting group with €1B+ in revenue, 12,000 people, and 10+ brands across 60 countries.
Our mission: challenge the status quo in every industry we touch, the same way we disrupted consulting with Mantu. We back intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs building ambitious things — across four pillars: Aonia Ventures (70+ startups, one of Europe's most active business angels), Rise Up our startup studio, a Search Fund focused on acquiring and scaling high-potential SMEs, and Real Estate & Private Equity.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a talented AI & Data Engineer to join our technical team in Lisbon.
Reporting directly to the CTO, you'll work within a compact, fast-moving team of four — going from prototype to production on real AI and automation projects across the organization.
This isn't a shadow role. You'll own scopes, ship things that matter, and work with senior stakeholders from day one.
What You'll Work On
Build & deploy AI pipelines: Design agentic workflows and integrate LLMs with internal data sources via MCP servers and vector databases.
Automate business processes: Build end-to-end automations (n8n, agentic pipelines) connecting databases, APIs and external applications.
Develop internal tools: Ship full-stack features on internal applications (C#, TypeScript, Python) with the help of AI-assisted development.
Engineer data infrastructure: Architect and manage SQL and vector databases to power AI retrieval and business operations.
Own cloud infrastructure: Audit, redesign and provision Azure environments — with a focus on security and governance.
What You'll Walk Away With
Shipped real automation and AI tools used across multiple business units.
Worked directly with the CTO and C-suite stakeholders.
Built hands-on fluency across the modern AI/automation stack.
Developed a strong systems-thinking muscle — challenging processes, not just executing them.
Become part of a tight-knit, high-trust technical team.
Who We’re Looking For
Background & Hard Skills:
CS/Data/Software engineering background (top-tier school, current or recent grad)
Python fluency · French & English bilingual
Working knowledge of the modern AI stack: LLMs, MCP, Skills, Agents, etc..
Hands-on with agentic/automation tools (Dust, n8n, Claude Code…)
Full-stack exposure: APIs, SQL, C#, Vue.js
Basic Azure / Cloud infrastructure
Soft skills:
Fast learner: you don't know everything — but you can learn anything.
Autonomous: you manage multiple projects without needing hand-holding.
Rigorous: complex problems excite you; details don't slip past you.
Discreet: you understand what confidentiality means in a Family Office.
Collaborative: strong communicator who thrives in cross-functional environments.
The perks & benefits
Office located in central Lisbon.
Small, sharp team — real ownership from day one, no corporate overhead.
Flexible working hours.
Exposure to a unique ecosystem spanning our investments practices VC, Real Estate and Startup Studio.
