Who We Are

At 8th Light, we bring life to the best ideas.

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Chicago, we are a technology solutions consultancy that partners with organizations from early-stage startups to the world's largest companies. We take on hard software challenges and turn them into durable results. We build agentic products, the platforms they run on, and the engineering and design at every layer.

Our commitment to quality means we deliver solutions we’re truly proud of, while our curiosity sparks innovation and breakthrough thinking. 8th Lights thrive in an environment that champions continuous education, fueling our growth through mentorship and hands-on work. We foster an open, collaborative culture grounded in honesty that builds trust, and believe true success is measured by the outcomes we create for our clients.

Successfully led modernization and replatforming efforts to align legacy systems with short and long-term business needs

Collaboratively led stakeholders to balance technical considerations with product and user needs
Actively sought out and effectively given feedback

What You’ll Do At 8th Light

As a go-to technologist and strategist within 8th Light, you’ll work with a variety of clients, typically one to two in a year, while continuing to deepen your and our collective domain expertise over the course of your career with us. You’ll be responsible for:

Clearly articulating and documenting outcomes and driving forward action items
Contributing to the health of your team and 8th Light’s culture by modeling our Values
Designing and managing high-level technical roadmaps for large engagements
Building your network and maintaining relationships with clients and other industry leaders within your domain
Coaching client engineering teams, transferring knowledge and leveling up practices
Influencing client CTOs and executive decisions. Planning and execute technical work that involves stakeholders outside of project boundaries such as across a client's technical organization
Partner with account teams on planning, opportunity identification, stakeholder relationships, and pre-sales scope shaping
Facilitating retrospectives, strategy sessions, and technical deep-dives to improve team and project outcomes
Identifying, mitigating, and resolving blockers to team progress
Contributing to 8th Light by serving as a mentor, leading or designing workshops internally or for clients, representing 8th Light in the tech community, or supporting our hiring processes
Demonstrating leadership in scalable system design, modular architecture, and platform- or product-oriented development
Bringing depth in testing strategies, observability, fault tolerance, and secure engineering practices
Applying architectural patterns to evaluate tradeoffs and drive clear, documented design rationale
