About The Position

Peregrine Advisors is a firm founded on a simple conviction: the best solutions come from the people closest to the problem, given real ownership and the tools to deliver. We are a data and technology innovation hub and a Benefit Corporation working at the center of the federal government's mission to deliver for client stakeholders and the US public, looking for highly motivated contributors who thrive when trusted to own a hard problem and equipped to deliver the solution. Your first assignment will likely include helping build and operate the secure delivery pipelines that carry federal systems into production. Adaptability and an appetite for learning new concepts, systems, and tools are what will move you forward fastest here. The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are.

Requirements

• Sole United States citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination are required for this initial engagement.

• Scripting ability (Python, Bash, or PowerShell)
• Working knowledge of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) concepts, with hands-on experience in at least one pipeline tool

• Familiarity with AI-assisted developer tooling

Responsibilities

• Building and maintaining continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines that take services from commit to deployment the same way every time, including progressive delivery strategies (blue/green and canary deployments) with automated health checks and rollback.
• Writing infrastructure-as-code on Amazon Web Services (AWS) so environments are created from templates, not by hand.
• Containerizing services and keeping images patched, scanned, and small.
• Wiring up the monitoring, logging, and vulnerability scanning that make systems observable and provably secure.
