Do you want to get hands‑on securing a global estate? Thomson Reuters is building a dedicated security engineering capability, and this role is where the work gets shipped. This role sits on our Service Management & Transformation team.

As a Security Engineer, you will execute security work across our application, cloud, and infrastructure estate, which spans on-premises data centers and major clouds. You will apply patches, harden configuration, implement controls, and work the pull requests generated by AI tooling, following the processes and standards set by the senior engineer and technical lead.

About the Role

In this opportunity as Security Engineer, you will:

• Execute security work across the full stack: apply patches, upgrade application and open‑source dependencies, harden cloud and operating‑system configuration, and implement guardrails, WAF, and network‑isolation changes.
• Work the pull requests generated by AI-augmented SAST and SCA tooling, confirm fixes hold, and coordinate regression testing with application teams.
• Support patching cycles and golden‑image refreshes, and help remove unused and outdated software from server estates.
• Implement the controls and follow the runbooks, standards, and risk‑based prioritization (in line with CISA guidance) set by the senior engineer and technical lead.
• Track status accurately from assignment through verified fix, and flag blockers early.
• Partner with application and platform teams to schedule and validate changes safely, and coordinate with the wider team across regions.
• Grow your skills across application, infrastructure, and cloud security with support from senior engineers.

You're a fit for the role of Security Engineer if your background includes:

• 3 + years of experience in security engineering, software development, systems administration, or DevSecOps , with a desire to specialize in security, plus a bachelor's degree in Computer Science , Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Hands‑on exposure to some of the following: patching, hardening, cloud configuration, network or identity controls, or scripting and automation.
• Exposure to one or more of AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, and to on‑premises infrastructure.
• A basic understanding of security principles and common vulnerabilities, and of risk‑based prioritization (CVSS and similar), with willingness to learn CISA KEV/EPSS in practice.
• Comfort working to defined processes, runbooks, and controls, and asking for review on complex work.
• A collaborative approach and strong ownership of the work you ship.
• Clear communication and attention to detail.
