Senior Data & Analytics (ML-Enabled Systems) We experiment, we build, we deliver. We support the organization and our product teams through foundational research and development of new products and technologies. Thomson Reuters Labs innovates collaboratively across our core segments in Legal, Tax & Accounting, Government, and Reuters News. We undertake a diverse portfolio of projects while investing in long-term research for the future

About the Role:
Are you passionate about building data infrastructure that powers cutting-edge AI evaluation systems? Thomson Reuters Labs is seeking a Data Engineer to join our AI data, evaluation, and governance team and help shape how we measure, monitor, and improve AI-powered legal products.
In this role as a Senior Data Engineer, you will:

• Build & Deploy Product Analytics Infrastructure: Design and implement scalable data pipelines and analytics systems that transform customer feedback and product traces into actionable insights across AI-powered legal products.
• Enable AI Evaluation at Scale: Build data workflows to enable the deployment of automated evaluation metrics as production analytics to continuously track product quality, detect errors, and alert teams to regressions before they impact customers.
• Establish Data Governance & Quality Standards: Develop technical governance infrastructure for manual and automated review of AI product data, particularly for small and medium law firms, ensuring data quality, security, and compliance.
• Drive Metric Development: Analyze product traces and customer feedback to identify quality issues and patterns that inform the development of new evaluation metrics and feed into product roadmap decisions.
• Support Cross-Functional Teams: Partner closely with Product Scientists, Research Engineers, and Subject Matter Experts to implement configurations, build reporting dashboards, and create self-service tools for metric implementation.
• Advance AI Evaluation Best Practices: Contribute to the development and scaling of automated evaluation capabilities and establish best practices for AI evaluation and analytics across Thomson Reuters pillars (Legal, Tax & Accounting, and Reuters News).
