We modernize public safety systems thoughtfully.
Progress matters, but it has to align with operational reality and the way agencies actually work.
Careers at 10-8 Systems
Work that shows up when it matters
At 10-8 Systems, the software we build is used in moments where failure isn’t an option.
Dispatchers and first responders rely on it to work clearly, reliably, and without friction.
This isn’t consumer software. It’s critical emergency response infrastructure.
How we think about our work:
We build cloud-based systems for public safety agencies operating in real time.
Our software is used during active incidents, across jurisdictions, and in moments where clarity matters more than speed.
There’s no margin for hand-waving or half measures. That environment demands careful engineering, thoughtful decisions, and people who take responsibility for the consequences of their work.
It’s the lens we use for building the product and the team behind it.
Built for real-world impact
Our software is used in live public safety environments.
The decisions we make affect real operations, not demos or controlled scenarios.
That reality informs how we design, test, and ship our work.
High ownership, low ego
We value people who take responsibility for their work and collaborate closely.
That means owning outcomes, communicating clearly, and doing what’s needed to deliver reliable solutions to the agencies we serve.
Practical innovation
Who thrives at 10-8 Systems
We’re intentional about who fits here, because the work demands it:
People with experience in public safety, government, or other mission-critical environments. You understand what it means to build systems that are relied on in real situations, not ideal ones.
People who are comfortable in lean teams with real ownership. There’s no hiding behind process. You take responsibility, make decisions, and follow through.
People who value clarity and directness. We care more about being precise and understood than sounding polished or clever.
People who prioritize reliability over hype. If you’re motivated by building systems that quietly hold up under pressure, you’ll fit in well here.
