I was around when the agile manifesto was drafted. It wasn't about eliminating hierarchy in organizations. That's something that started happening later, around and after 2010. The agile manifesto was singularly focused at helping people see how to deliver software without leaning on the old waterfall methodologies.
You must have worked in some very unhealthy teams where psychological safety wasn't present. I'm sorry that happened. But don't confuse your experiences with that of everyone else's. There are lots of teams that are agile from the top down, including those that happen to hold a title with VP in the name.
Don't distract. I'm genuinely trying to help us figure out how to build quality software, using AI, while avoiding all the problems we're seeing on so many teams.
Before the Enlightenment, what we now call science was alchemy. Productive, sometimes brilliant, but without a formalized process for distinguishing real understanding from convincing error. The scientific method changed that, and science became possible.
Software engineering today is closer to software alchemy. We build through craft and intuition, and when it works we often can't fully explain why.
AI is making the labor of producing software cheap while leaving the work of understanding it hard, and that combination is new. We've never had to build a shared mental model of a software solution deliberately. It has always come for free through the raw effort of writing code.

thatDot has created the world's first Streaming Graph, called "Quine" to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.
We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal.
Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!
Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:
- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.
- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.
- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.
- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.
- …and the right tool for the job.
