This posting is for proactive recruitment purposes and may be used to fill current openings or future vacancies within our organization.
Thomson Reuters is building the AI platform that will power the next decade of tax, accounting and audit products, including CoCounsel Audit, a suite of AI‑native products used by accountants on real client work every day. As a Principal Software Engineer, you will own core backend and AI orchestration systems that turn frontier models into reliable, production‑grade workflows at scale.
This role is for the CoCounsel for Audit team, formed from the recent acquisition of the startup Materia.
About the role:
Own the AI backbone: You will be the principal engineer responsible for the backend and orchestration layer powering AI agents, conversations, workspaces, and knowledge base across CoCounsel for Audit.
- Shape the company's AI platform and patterns: Define patterns for building MCP servers, designing agents, novel uses of LLMs, experimentation, and scalable infrastructure. Your decisions will influence multiple product lines, not just a single feature.
- Work at real production scale: Build and evolve systems that operate over millions of documents, highly structured tax data, ever changing laws, and thousands of concurrent AI interactions from accountants doing time‑sensitive work.
- Small team, big surface area: Join a tight group of senior engineers and researchers shipping quickly, with direct access to product leadership and customers. Think ownership of a startup with the runway of a public company.
- Great fit for managers who miss building: This role is intentionally designed for senior engineers and engineering managers who want to move back into a high‑impact IC track. You keep the scope and influence of an EM – driving multi‑team initiatives, setting technical direction, mentoring senior engineers – but spend most of your time in the code and architecture of AI systems instead of in 1:1s and status meetings.
What you'll do:
Technical leadership and cross‑functional influence
- Lead multi‑quarter initiatives that cut across AI, product, and infra (e.g., a new orchestration layer, a low-latency retrieval system, or a unified knowledge base).
- Mentor staff and senior engineers, raising the bar on system design, code quality, and AI integration practices across the org.
- Be the expert in new model capabilities, collaborating closely with AI/ML engineers, researchers, designers, and PMs to translate industry improvements into reliable, user‑facing workflows that accountants trust.
- Help shape the team’s roadmap, technical strategy, and engineering culture – from experimentation practices to testing, rollout, and postmortems.
- Help define and lead the platform integration strategy across new and existing Thomson Reuters audit systems to provide world class content and solutions for our customers.
Design and own AI‑first backend systems
- Architect and implement backend services (Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS, Vercel) that power generative AI agents, complex workflows (e.g., tax filing, advisory, audit), and document‑centric experiences.
- Build and evolve AI orchestration: routing, tool calling, MCP servers, multi‑step workflows, safety and guardrails, and robust error handling around third‑party LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others).
Scale, reliability, and performance
- Design for high‑throughput, low‑latency AI workloads: caching, queuing, rate‑limiting, model failover, and cost/performance tradeoffs.
- Work with large‑scale data: millions of documents, retrieval and search, vector stores, and indexing strategies tailored to tax and accounting use cases.
- Establish and refine SLOs, observability, and incident response for AI systems that must be correct, auditable, and trustworthy in professional workflows.
About You:
You are a fit for the position of Principal Software Engineer if your background includes:
Required Experience & Skills:
- Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Related Field, or Equivalent Experience
- 8-10+ years of experience in backend development, building scalable web services and APIs.
- Deep Python expertise and experience with production systems using frameworks like FastAPI (or similar), relational databases (PostgreSQL or equivalent), and a major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
- Strong background in distributed systems: data modeling, API contracts, observability, resilience patterns, and performance tuning under load.
- Proven track record owning large, complex projects end‑to‑end: architecture, execution, rollout, and long‑term operation.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner with product, design, and ML teams in a fast‑moving environment.
- Demonstrated interest in AI systems and new engineering paradigms: LLMs, agents, retrieval, or similar – you care about what “AI‑native” software should look like.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Hands‑on experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) into production applications, including prompt/response management, cost controls, and safety considerations.
- Experience with AI‑adjacent infrastructure: vector databases, embeddings, semantic search, or custom retrieval pipelines.
- Opinions and experience around automated testing, reliability, and release practices for systems with nondeterministic model behavior.
- Prior experience in domains where correctness, auditability, and compliance matter (fintech, tax, audit, legal, or similar), or strong interest in applying AI in those contexts.
- Many of our strongest candidates have bounced between EM and senior IC roles. If you’ve been managing for the last few years and want to get closer to the hard technical problems again – without giving up scope or career progression – this principal IC role is built for that pivot.
What’s in it For You?
- 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 savings, tuition reimbursement, employee incentive programs, and resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.
- Culture: Globally recognized, award-winning reputation for inclusion and belonging, flexibility, work-life balance, and more. We live by our values: Obsess over our Customers, Compete to Win, Challenge (Y)our Thinking, Act Fast / Learn Fast, and Stronger Together.
- Social Impact: Make an impact in your community with our Social Impact Institute. We offer employees two paid volunteer days off annually and opportunities to get involved with pro-bono consulting projects and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
- Making a Real-World Impact: We are one of the few companies globally that helps its customers pursue justice, truth, and transparency. Together, with the professionals and institutions we serve, we help uphold the rule of law, turn the wheels of commerce, catch bad actors, report the facts, and provide trusted, unbiased information to people all over the world.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Thomson Reuters Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Target roles in legal and tax technology
Thomson Reuters builds software for legal, compliance, and financial professionals. Engineering, product, and data roles tied to these platforms are where sponsorship activity is most concentrated, align your application to these core business lines.
Understand they sponsor both H-1B and Green Cards
Thomson Reuters has sponsored both H-1B visas and employment-based Green Cards, which signals a willingness to support long-term immigration pathways, not just short-term work authorization. This matters if you're thinking beyond your first visa.
Frame your experience around enterprise software and data
Thomson Reuters competes in complex, regulated markets. Candidates who speak to experience with large-scale platforms, data pipelines, or compliance-adjacent technology will resonate more than those with a generic software engineering background.
Apply early in the H-1B cycle
If you need H-1B sponsorship, timing your application to Thomson Reuters between October and January gives the most runway before the April lottery registration window, enough time for interviews, offers, and LCA filing before the deadline.
Look for roles explicitly open to visa sponsorship
Not every Thomson Reuters job listing will offer sponsorship, it varies by team and headcount. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history and avoid wasting applications on roles that won't support your visa.
Highlight specialized skills that justify the sponsorship investment
Thomson Reuters sponsors selectively, so candidates need to make the business case clear. Deep expertise in a niche area, legal AI, tax data infrastructure, regulatory compliance software, strengthens the argument for sponsorship over a U.S.-based generalist hire.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Thomson Reuters sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Thomson Reuters sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying roles in the United States. Sponsorship tends to be concentrated in technology and software functions, including engineering, data, and product development. The company has an established track record of H-1B filings, which signals a structured immigration process rather than case-by-case exceptions.
Does Thomson Reuters sponsor Green Cards?
Yes, Thomson Reuters has sponsored employment-based Green Cards alongside H-1B visas. The presence of both sponsorship types suggests the company is willing to support employees through longer-term immigration pathways, including EB-2 and EB-3 categories. Green Card sponsorship is typically offered to employees who have been with the company for some time in a sponsored role.
Which departments or roles at Thomson Reuters are most likely to receive visa sponsorship?
Visa sponsorship at Thomson Reuters is most common in technology and software roles, software engineers, data scientists, product managers, and machine learning engineers working on the company's legal, tax, and regulatory platforms. Corporate functions like finance or HR are less likely to involve sponsorship, though it's not impossible depending on the specialization.
How do I find open visa-sponsored jobs at Thomson Reuters?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find Thomson Reuters roles that come with verified sponsorship history. You can filter by company and visa type to see which positions are realistically open to H-1B or Green Card sponsorship, rather than applying speculatively to listings that may not support your situation.
How do I approach the application process at Thomson Reuters as a visa sponsorship candidate?
Be transparent about your visa needs early in the process, ideally in your initial application or recruiter screen. Thomson Reuters has internal immigration infrastructure, so this isn't an unfamiliar conversation for their HR teams. Coming prepared with your current status, authorization timeline, and any OPT or grace period deadlines will help recruiters assess your situation accurately and move quickly if there's a fit.
