Job summary

Reap is seeking an Engineering Manager, AI to own the production AI platform and drive adoption of agentic systems across the organization. You will lead design reviews, set technical direction, and work across Engineering, Compliance, Finance, and Support to deliver scalable, auditable AI-powered workflows.

You will own security, governance, and tooling to ensure safe, compliant AI deployments while growing a small, senior team of engineers.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with 2+ years in a technical leadership or management role.
• Demonstrated experience designing, deploying, and driving adoption of AI or agentic systems in production.
• Hands-on proficiency with the modern AI stack: Claude and other LLM APIs, AWS Bedrock, MCP or equivalent agent‑tooling layers, Python or TypeScript orchestration, and workflow engines such as n8n.
• Deep understanding of LLM failure modes — hallucination, tool misuse, prompt injection, silent degradation — and how to design evaluation, guardrails, and human‑in‑the‑loop controls around them.
• Strong systems thinking; able to move from discovery to design to build to deployment to optimisation without leaning on external consultants.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and roadmap of Reap's AI platform layer — MCP servers, agentic workflows, internal AI infrastructure, and enablement for teams.
• Lead the redesign of end-to-end agentic workflows so SOPs are executed by systems with explicit human checkpoints.
• Build governance and auditability into production AI, including access controls, logging, and risk management.
• Hire, grow, and lead a small, senior team; provide clear direction and feedback to maximise delivery quality.
• Report on impact in operational terms: reduced cycle time, increased throughput, and higher‑judgement work.
