Staff Software Engineer - AI II TR4

About this role

Are you ready to shape the future of AI‑driven tax automation? We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to build and scale intelligent workflows using modern LLM/ML tooling. Your work will directly impact how tax professionals automate complex, high‑stakes processes and access critical information.

About the Role

In this opportunity as a Staff Software Engineer, you will:

• **Advance document intelligence:** Build generalizable models for tax documents (standard and non‑standard) using CV/NLP/LLMs and embeddings to move beyond fixed OCR templates with dynamic, context‑aware parsing.
• **Boost auto‑verification & quality:** Improve native‑PDF/text‑layer matching, anomaly detection, and prior‑year‑aware checks to catch issues before human review; design human‑in‑the‑loop flows that preserve practitioner control.
• **Scale the pipeline:** Productionize low‑latency training/inference pipelines over millions of documents with robust observability, evaluation, and drift monitoring.
• Integrate LLMs and traditional ML models into robust, auditable workflows that support tax determination, document processing, and rules‑based automation.
• Build and maintain data pipelines, feature extraction, and preprocessing for tax‑relevant data (e.g., invoices, filings, transactional data).
• Develop and integrate RESTful APIs / microservices to expose AI capabilities to internal and external systems.
• Ensure solutions meet compliance, security, and auditability requirements typical of tax and regulated domains.
• You’ll collaborate across SurePrep engineering and other Thomson Reuters product & engineering teams leveraging TR’s AI platforms including Materia and Additive to deliver reliable, auditable AI in production.

About You

You’re a fit for the role of Staff Software Engineer if you have the following required qualifications:

• **7+ years in applied ML/AI** (or 5+ with an advanced degree) delivering production systems in document AI/OCR/NLP or information extract...
