Senior Software Engineer II

Job Description

Raleigh, NC / Hybrid

About the Team

LexisNexis is a leading global provider of legal, regulatory and business information, and analytics that help customers increase productivity and improve decision-making and outcomes. We help lawyers win cases, manage their work more efficiently, serve their clients better, and grow their practices. We feel privileged to work in a business that has a higher purpose - advancing the rule of law around the world - which is vital for building peace and prosperity in society.

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build and scale AI-powered internal tools that materially improve efficiency, quality, and speed across the organization. This role combines deep hands-on engineering with technical leadership, setting a high bar for execution while shaping how AI-first and agentic development practices are applied across teams.

As a senior engineer, you will work on complex internal products, guide technical decisions, and help establish patterns and best practices that other engineers can reuse. While this is a strongly hands-on role, you will also act as a mentor and technical multiplier for the team.

You will be part of a globally distributed set of engineering teams (U.S., UK, and international) focused on delivering internal tooling and shared platforms. Product leadership and business analysis support are provided, allowing this role to focus on high-quality delivery, technical design, and innovation.

• Heavy emphasis on AI-first and agentic development, not traditional hand-written coding alone

• Meaningful technical ownership and influence without people-management responsibilities

• Opportunity to shape engineering patterns and standards for AI-enabled internal tooling at scale

• Focus on internal enablement and productivity rather than customer-facing feature delivery

• Strong partnership with product and leadership, enabling rapid execution with clear priorities

Responsibilities

• Own the design and implementation of complex internal AI-enabled tools and workflows

• Partner closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, and Engineering Managers to translate defined problems into scalable technical solutions

• Lead hands-on development using AI-assisted and agentic tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and reliability

• Evaluate, select, and apply appropriate AI development tools and patterns based on use case complexity and risk

• Perform and lead code reviews, providing constructive feedback and setting engineering standards

• Collaborate across global teams contributing to shared internal platforms and reusable components

• Troubleshoot complex issues across the stack and guide others in effective problem resolution

Requirements

• Significant professional software development experience with increasing technical responsibility

• Strong full-stack engineering background with:

– At least one modern client-side framework (Angular preferred, but flexible)

– At least one server-side language (.NET/C# preferred, but flexible)

• Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI-assisted and agentic development tools such as:

– GitHub Copilot

– Claude / Claude Code

– Codex, Gemini, or similar tools

• Ability to clearly articulate and demonstrate:

– How AI tools are integrated into real development workflows

– Tradeoffs between different agentic tools and approaches

– When AI accelerates development and when traditional engineering rigor is required

• Strong debugging, code comprehension, and system-level problem-solving skills

• Production experience with .NET and Angular

• Experience building internal tools, platforms, or developer productivity solutions

• Familiarity with AI-enabled architectures such as workflow automation, LLM-backed services, or retrieval-augmented solutions

• Experience contributing to or defining shared libraries, frameworks, or platform services

• Comfort operating in distributed, global engineering teams

• Hands-on experience with modern DevOps and CI/CD workflows using GitHub or similar tooling
