About The Position

Reef is looking for a n AI DevOps Engineer who builds, ships, and supports the systems that power Reef. This isn't a "write Terraform all day" role and it isn't a "stay in your IDE" role - it's both, plus everything in between. You'll own the full lifecycle of our internal applications: building features, deploying them, keeping them running, and supporting the people who use them every day. At Reef, AI isn't a side project or an innovation lab experiment. It's how we build. Our AI assistant is a core member of the technology team - she writes code, monitors systems, builds dashboards, runs data pipelines, and handles routine tasks every single day. Your job is to work alongside her: reviewing her output, deploying to production, building what she can't , and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Beyond day-to-day collaboration, you'll help build out the framework for AI agents across Ree f, such as designing how autonomous agents are deployed, managed, and governed as we scale AI into more of our ope rations. This means architecting agent infrastructure, defining guardrails, building integrations, and making sure our AI capabilities grow responsibly and effectively. If you've been experimenting with AI coding assistants, building with LLM APIs, deploying agents, or automating workflows with tools like Ope n Cla w , Cursor, or simila r, you'll thrive here. If AI is something you've been meaning to investigate , this role will move too fast. One of your first major projects will be the ReefAccess Frontend Modernization - a full rebuild of our investor-facing portal. ReefAccess is Reef's primary touchpoint for every investor in our funds. Today it runs on aging technology (React 16, Material-UI v4, Redux 3, Webpack) with a 328,000-line codebase that's overdue for a modern overhaul. This isn't a greenfield vanity project. It's a production application with real users, real money, and real complexity - 8 frontend bundles serving investors, vendors, borrowers, and staff across a Django backend integrated with Salesforce, Xero, DocuSign , SharePoint, and more. The modernization includes: Rebuilding the frontend in Next.js/React 19 with a modern component library ( shadcn / ui + Tailwind) Migrating from Heroku to AWS (ECS Fargate, CloudFront, RDS) with full Infrastructure as Code using Terraform Implementing SSO via Microsoft Entra ID for internal users and MFA (Twilio + Authenticator) for external users Delivering an investor experience on par with best-in-class platforms like Agora including portfolio visualizations, clean typography, responsive design that reflects a premium brand Working alongside our AI assistant throughout - she'll generate components, write migrations, and draft infrastructure. You'll review, refine, and deploy.

Dagster Cloud : Orchestration layer for ETL jobs. You'll own pipeline reliability and build new assets as data sources grow.

AWS & Infrastructure as Code Own and evolve Reef's AWS environment - ECS Fargate for containers, CloudFront for CDN, RDS for databases, S3 for storage, Lambda for serverless workloads.
Build and maintain all infrastructure using Terraform - every environment (dev, staging, production) is defined in code, version-controlled, and reproducible.
Manage networking, security groups, IAM roles, and access policies. You're the person who knows what's running, where, and why.
