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.

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
