And where fewer bad things happen because of bad software. About You You’re mission-driven and measure success by impact (lives saved, time returned, missions advanced), not activity. You think big, start small, and scale fast. You treat time as the biggest vulnerability and security as something that enables speed. You lead with kindness and candor: you give honest feedback, take it well, and raise the bar for everyone around you.
You’re an owner. You thrive with autonomy, act decisively, and stay steady when things are uncertain. You're building with AI and see it as a force multiplier not a shortcut. As a Senior Software Engineer at Rise8, you will: Work with clients who may be new to modern software practices such as design thinking, AI-assisted and agentic engineering, continuous-release deployment, backlog management, or even interacting directly with the users they provide software to.
Decompose business problems into clear, actionable instructions and specifications for agentic development. Be responsible for learning how your client likes to learn, how they like to receive feedback, and what ubiquitous language they use so you can speak in terms that resonate with them. Learn, teach, and refine your approach constantly to best collaborate towards a new way of thinking about engineering. On enablement engagements, pair with client developers, engineers, and military service members.
