Senior Software Engineer, News Platform

Senior Software Engineer

Help us shape the future of real-time news delivery and join a team powering the heartbeat of global information! LSEG's News Engineering group is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help evolve our tooling to handle metadata for the news platform. If you're motivated by high-performance systems, real-world impact, and incorporating modern engineering practices in a dynamic and forward-thinking environment — this is your opportunity.

This role is ideal for mid-level engineers (3-6 years experience) who thrive as individual contributors and want to grow their expertise in Java-based, cloud-native, highly available systems.

As an engineer in the News team at LSEG, you will write clean, efficient Java code for both Azure and AWS cloud-hosted environments. Work with structured data formats like XML and JSON as well as data lake and database technologies. Collaborate in a scrum team crafting solutions and delivering new features. Be responsible for your code by writing automated tests, participating in code reviews, and supporting production systems. Help automate deployment, upgrades, and maintenance using modern DevOps tools. Occasionally provide on-call support for critical systems (we keep it reasonable).

What We're Looking For

• Solid experience with Java on Linux and Windows systems.
• Familiarity with unit testing, and test-driven development.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and container orchestration.
• Understanding of database technologies and experience with SQL.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and communicate clearly.

Bonus points for hands-on experience with Azure, AWS, Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, or Kubernetes.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: Your work helps deliver critical news to millions in real time.
• Growth: Learn from expert engineers and expand your skills across cloud, data, and resilient systems.
• Culture: We value curiosity, ownership, and teamwork. You'll work in a globally distributed team that supports each other.
• Flexibility: Hybrid work options and a balanced work-life environment.
