What is a Distinguished Engineer at Thomson Reuters?
A Distinguished Engineer is a highly experienced and influential senior technologist with deep technical knowledge and an understanding of diverse methodologies and best practices. This is an individual with a proven record of technical deliveries who understands the big picture, while being able to deep dive into technical details. This individual is an established role model, mentor, and technical thought leader, vigorously supporting and driving innovation. An effective communicator and cross-functional collaborator, a Distinguished Engineer can explain even complex technical concepts to different audiences and spark commitment and engagement. A Distinguished Engineer is also a tech ambassador actively promoting tech achievements and best practices, sharing knowledge and influencing, internally and externally.
To become a Distinguished Engineer at Thomson Reuters, the individual needed to pass selection criteria focused on four key competencies: technical skills, expertise and excellence, technical leadership, technical ambassadorship, while having a minimum of five years tenure at Thomson Reuters. Going forward, this minimum tenure requirement will probably decrease as the program expands within the organization.
Our Distinguished Engineers will expand their remit to work side-by-side with key stakeholders to improve the quality and sophistication of our digital products and services.
Having the opportunity to build a career as an individual contributor, outside of a manager and architect path will be a key differentiator for us. Also, having clarity around career pathing for a variety of technical roles will help to foster internal mobility within Thomson Reuters.
I joined Thomson Reuters last March as the first Distinguished Engineer, with a focus to design and launch this program. Prior to joining Thomson Reuters, I was a Distinguished Engineer with UBS, where my experience spanned a variety of roles, largely in creative, service-oriented roles specializing in client experience, applied innovation, and various strategic topics. Drawing upon my passion for innovation, a culture of diversity, and engineering excellence, I also developed a global hackathon for UBS to unleash the creativity of engineering teams from across the organization.
In December, we announced our first cohort of Distinguished Engineers after going through a rigorous selection process. Meet our first Distinguished Engineer cohort:
