GenAI engineers. Lawyers, tax professionals and journalists search huge bodies of text, and an AI assistant can find the answer, cite the source and draft the first version. Thomson Reuters hires most of the GenAI engineers here to build these assistants, in Python with the OpenAI API, Claude and semantic search. They are about twice as common here as at a typical product company.

ML engineers. Thomson Reuters hires a group of ML engineers who train and adapt models, in Python with PyTorch and TensorFlow, and some postings require responsible-AI skills. They are several times as common here as elsewhere.

Java backend and full-stack engineers. The scholarly publishers' submission, review and publishing platforms, and Thomson Reuters' services, run on Java. Java engineers build them in Spring Boot on AWS and Azure, often with React or Angular. Java holds about its usual place, and it is hired almost entirely with experience.

.NET engineers. Thomson Reuters and the scholarly publishing group RELX build parts of their products on the Microsoft stack, in C# with React or Angular and SQL Server. .NET engineers are above their usual weight.

Test engineers. Testers hold about their usual place, at Thomson Reuters and the digital publishers, like People Inc and ContactCenterWorld, and they take the most juniors here.

Frontend and Node engineers. Readers meet publishers through websites and apps. Frontend engineers in React and Next.js, and Node engineers in TypeScript, build them at Thomson Reuters, the scholarly publishers, the science-video publisher JoVE and the audio-series apps, like Pocket FM and Kuku FM. Both are above their usual weight.

Data engineers. The publishers and Thomson Reuters hire data engineers for content and usage data, in Python and SQL with Snowflake, AWS Glue and Databricks.

Generalist software engineers. Thomson Reuters and the scholarly publishers hire engineers who work across JavaScript, .NET and other languages. They are about twice as common here as elsewhere.

Salesforce developers. The scholarly publishers run their sales and customer service on Salesforce, and they hire Salesforce developers in Apex and Lightning Web Components, several times as common as usual. These roles take juniors readily.

Mobile engineers. The apps where people talk and meet, like FRND and Shaadi.com, and the audio-series apps, hire mobile engineers in Kotlin and Swift. They are above their usual weight and take juniors readily.

Also present. Go and Python engineers at the audio and social apps, a few SAP developers, Software Engineer, Security roles on sign-in and identity, and full-stack engineers.

Rare here. Cloud engineers are less common than at most product companies, and firmware and C/C++ work barely appear.
