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 Software Engineer to help evolve our real-time news collection and distribution platform. If you're motivated by high-performance systems, real-world impact, and incorporating modern engineering and DevOps practices in a dynamic and forward-thinking environment — this is your opportunity.

About the Role

This role is ideal for mid-level engineers who thrive as individual contributors and want to grow their expertise in real-time systems, C++, and cloud-native development.

As a software engineer in the News team at LSEG, you will:

  • Write clean, efficient C++ and Python code for both on-prem and cloud-hosted environments.
  • Work with structured data formats like XML, JSON, HTML, and XSLT — and learn how they power News industry standards.
  • 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 and practices (CI/CD, containerization, telemetry, instrumentation).
  • Occasionally provide on-call support for critical systems (we keep it reasonable).

  • Understanding of network protocols and distributed systems.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure and container orchestration.
  • Strong problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate clearly.

Bonus

  • Hands-on experience with Python, Google Test framework, GitLab CI/CD, Kubernetes, or Terraform.
  • Knowledge of NewsMLG2 or similar standards and experience implementing a standard format at speed.
