Software Engineer II

Staff Software Engineer (Full Stack) - Forward Engineering

Join Thomson Reuters' Forward Engineering team and help build the next generation of AIdriven, agentcentric applications that redefine how our internal teams work. This role is ideal for a senior fullstack engineer who thrives in fastpaced environments, adopts AI coding tools to accelerate development, and enjoys partnering closely with AI Engineers and business stakeholders to bring new interaction models to life.

As a Staff Full Stack Engineer, you will translate complex business challenges into intuitive, efficient applications that integrate seamlessly with evolving AI systems. You'll shape how TR builds software in an era where human users and AI agents collaborate through adaptive, goal driven interfaces.

• Develop fullstack applications designed around agentcentric workflows, enabling smooth humanAI collaboration through adaptive UIs and intelligent backend services.
• Create modular, cloud native APIs that support agent context, state management, and structured tool invocation across distributed AI systems.
• Work closely with AI Engineers to design UI, API, and servicelayer experiences that expose agent capabilities to internal users and developers.
• Use modern frontend and backend tech (React/Next.js, Vue/Nuxt, Angular, Node.js, Python/FastAPI, Java/Spring, .NET) while upholding best practices in API design, state management, CI/CD, testing, performance, and observability.
• Build quick, exploratory prototypes to test new interaction models, learn from user feedback, and influence product direction.
• Lead architectural decisions, mentor engineers, elevate engineering quality, and drive best practices across experimentation and modular design.
• Partner with business units, product teams, AI Engineers, and SMEs to cocreate solutions, shape priorities, and document architectures for broader adoption.

• 8+ years fullstack engineering experience with ownership of production applications and APIs.
• Deep expertise in at least one modern frontend and backend stack.
• Ability to quickly learn new tools and adapt engineering patterns for AIdriven development.
• Familiarity with AIpowered systems (APIs, data flows, model integration) and eagerness to partner with AI Engineers.
• Experience building systems in cloud native environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and using Docker/Kubernetes.
• Proven leadership in driving technical initiatives and guiding multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong communication, product intuition, and comfort working in fastmoving, exploratory environments.

• Experience using AI coding tools (Cursor, Cline, Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot) to accelerate understanding, design, and implementation across large codebases.
• Ability to leverage AI agents to scale development (parallelizing tasks, accelerating code review, fast iteration from feedback).
• Demonstrated 0to1 prototyping ability with a startuplike mindset.

• Hybrid Work Model: We've adopted a flexible hybrid working environment (2-3 days a week in the office depending on the role) for our office-based roles while delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected.

• Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: Flex My Way is a set of supportive workplace policies designed to help manage personal and professional responsibilities, whether caring for family, giving back to the community, or finding time to refresh and reset. This builds upon our flexible work arrangements, including work from anywhere for up to 8 weeks per year, empowering employees to achieve a better work-life balance.

• Career Development and Growth: By fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development, we prepare our talent to tackle tomorrow's challenges and deliver real-world solutions. Our Grow My Way programming and skills-first approach ensures you have the tools and knowledge to grow, lead, and thrive in an AI-enabled future.

• Industry Competitive Benefits: We offer comprehensive benefit plans to include flexible vacation, two company-wide Mental Health Days off, access to the Headspace app, retirement…
