This posting is for proactive recruitment purposes and may be used to fill
current openings or future vacancies within our organization. Senior Software
Engineer, AI 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. You'll join our Tax and Accounting Professionals 1040 Scan product
engineering team and own the design, implementation, and optimization of
AI‑powered tax workflows—from data ingestion to production deployment. 1040SCAN
is the market-leading scan-and-populate engine in the 1040 workflow, organizing
workpapers, extracting data, and exporting to tax software at scale. As a Senior
AI engineer, you will modernize the AI that powers document understanding,
extraction, and verification—expanding coverage and accuracy while reducing
human effort. About the role, As a Senior Software Engineer, AI, 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 Senior
Software Engineer, AI role if your background includes: 5+ years in applied
ML/AI (or 3+ 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. Cloud‑native ML ops experience: training/inference pipelines,
feature/data stores, observability, cost/perf optimization. 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. You've 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. You're comfortable reading
tax/business rules and working with domain experts, even if you're not a tax
specialist yourself. #LI-GK1 What’s in it For You? Hybrid Work Model: We’ve
