Descripción de la vacante

Thomson Reuters in Minnesota is seeking a Software Engineer on the Litigation Drafting team to build AI-powered backend features and agentic workflows for legal professionals. You will use Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL to deliver scalable, production-ready services, with opportunities to grow into full-stack work.

The role emphasizes fast learning, collaboration, and ownership of end-to-end deliveries, including AI tooling, CI/CD, and observability in a dynamic, hybrid work environment.

Formación

• 1–3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Backend & Cloud: Python with cloud services; RESTful APIs and distributed systems.
• Strong debugging and production-ready software delivery.
• Cross-functional collaboration and fast learning ability.
• Experience with AI tooling a plus.

Responsabilidades

• Build and ship AI Agentic features end to end: Take a feature from a written requirement through design, implementation, code review and production.
• Design and build backend services using Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL to support real-time AI interactions and large-scale data flows, with direct contribution to AI-powered capabilities such as agentic workflows, LLM orchestration, and content pipelines.
• Productionize AI Capabilities: Integrate with modern LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and implement reliable orchestration, routing, error handling, guardrails, telemetry, and deep observability for performance and reliability. Strengthen CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation to support fast, stable, cloud-native development workflows.
• Use AI as a force multiplier: Apply AI coding and testing tooling to your own work, and help build AI capabilities into the product itself. Translate business requirements into solutions that use AI where it is the right answer, and do not where it is not.
• Diagnose and fix: Read unfamiliar code, run root cause analysis, troubleshoot production behavior, and act on issues raised by automated code quality inspection.
• Raise the quality bar: Contribute to automated testing strategy and to CI/CD pipelines, treating test coverage as part of a feature rather than as a follow-up.
• Collaborate across functions: Participate in design discussions, agile ceremonies and cross-team work with Product, design and Labs teams.
• Help others as you grow: Share what you learn, support colleagues on problems you have already solved, and contribute to a team culture where learning out loud is normal.
