Technical Lead, C++/C#:
Are you ready to lead the engineering charge on a cutting-edge video streaming platform — and shape the future of how the world's most trusted news organisation delivers media at scale? At Thomson Reuters, we clarify the complex — and we need a technical leader who can do the same for our codebase.
We're looking for a Full-Stack C++ / C# Lead Engineer to join our video streaming team, on a hybrid basis, ideally based between UK and India time zones. In this role, you'll serve as the technical lead for a team of junior and senior developers, driving quality, architecture, and delivery on a modern, evolving stack — currently around 80% C++, transitioning toward C#, with a Node.js/TypeScript component and legacy PHP being phased out.
This is a hybrid position working between UK & India time zones, with some flexibility.
About the Role
As Technical Lead , you will be responsible for:
Owning and driving technical leadership across a team of junior and senior developers
Conducting thorough code reviews and maintaining high standards of code quality across the codebase
Troubleshooting and identifying root causes of complex, cross-system issues
Working fluidly across multiple areas of the codebase, managing frequent context switching with confidence
Contributing to and leading architectural discussions that shape the platform's direction
Working hands-on across our core stack: C++, C# (.NET Framework, Windows Forms, Interop), Node.js / TypeScript, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions
Collaborating with front-end components using JavaScript / TypeScript
About You
You're a fit for the role of Lead Full-Stack Engineer if your background includes:
Strong hands-on experience in C++ and/or C#, with the ability to work confidently across both
We are seeking candidates with 8 - 10 years of experience for this role.
A track record of technical leadership — you've guided and mentored teams of developers and taken ownership of engineering outcomes
Solid experience with code reviews and a genuine commitment to code quality and best practices
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex, cross-system problems
Experience contributing to or leading architectural discussions and design decisions
Familiarity with front-end technologies, particularly JavaScript / TypeScript
Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), software architecture, data structures, and critical thinking
Excellent communication skills — you can bridge the gap between technical complexity and team clarity.
A collaborative mindset, with the ability to lead without losing sight of the people around you.
Nice to have:
Experience with media encoding or streaming tools (e.g. FFmpeg, ImageMagick)
Experience with distributed systems
Experience with Hono (Node.js framework)
Exposure to cloud platforms, particularly AWS
