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 Senior Lead Software Engineer - AI 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 extraction at scale.
Strong Python and deep learning expertise (PyTorch/TensorFlow), with experience in LLMs, embeddings/vector search, prompt design/evaluation, and statistical methods for quality and uncertainty.
Own end to end lifecycle for AI features: design implementation testing deployment monitoring iteration.
Optimize model/workflow inference for latency, throughput, and cost, including caching, batching, and model selection strategies.
Implement monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting for workflows and models in production (data drift, model performance, error rates).
Debug and troubleshoot complex AI systems in production, including prompt failures, integration bugs, and data quality issues.
Partner with Product, Tax SMEs, and other engineering teams to translate business/tax requirements into AI workflows.
Collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers on model selection, evaluation, and experimentation within Reducto pipelines.
Lead design reviews, perform code reviews, and mentor mid level/junior engineers on AI best practices and production grade coding.
Contribute to internal standards, best practices, and templates for building AI workflows with Reducto.
Document AI background: layout parsing, table extraction, doc type classification, native PDF matching, and verification automation.
Agentic/LLM orchestration experience: familiarity with TR AI platforms such as Materia and Additive; retrieval augmented and tool use patterns; evaluation and guardrails.
Modern Development Practices: Hands-on with modern AI coding assistants including Claude Code, Cline, and GitHub Copilot for rapid prototyping, code generation, and workflow automation.
Version control: Experience with version control (Git), testing frameworks (pytest or similar), and modern DevOps practices.
Software Engineering : Familiarity with C#, Java or any other programming language
Domain familiarity: exposure to tax/financial document workflows or other regulated content systems is a plus
Youve built end to end AI features that are running in production, not just prototypes.
You can take a vague tax/business requirement and turn it into a concrete, testable workflow design.
You care about robustness and correctness as much as cleverness especially in domains where errors have financial or compliance impact.
Youre comfortable reading tax/business rules and working with domain experts, even if youre not a tax specialist yourself.
