Reuters reported that Thomson Reuters said it was cutting “a small number of roles” in engineering as it deployed AI across its businesses.
The Reuters report also said the company planned to eliminate up to 500 jobs and hire more than 250 net-new engineering roles globally over two years, with most of the new roles described as senior and AI-native.
The report said the cuts affected the global staff and were announced during a technology staff meeting. The supplied sources do not identify which specific engineering positions were affected or provide additional detail about the teams involved.
The supplied research also includes a Thomson Reuters Workday posting title for a “Lead Software Engineer AI (Staff Engineer),” but the opened source does not provide readable text to verify the posting language. Because of that, the supplied evidence does not support repeating claims about what that posting said.
