8th Light

8th Light hires most of its early-career engineers through a formal apprenticeship program, not a standard junior-engineer track, and states it has run the program for "more than 15 years," with 300 apprentices completing it to become full engineers ("crafters"). The firm explicitly screens for curiosity and creativity over a computer science degree, a model Built In Chicago independently describes as central to the firm's growth and built around career-changers and self-taught coders rather than traditional CS graduates. For an applicant without a CS degree or prior professional coding background, this is a named, structured path in that most software employers don't offer, worth weighing against a bootcamp or self-study route with no employer attached to it.

8th Light currently has no open internship or graduate roles listed on Jorb AI. This page updates continuously; check back as new postings rotate.
