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 put you in charge of defining and delivering solutions for modern applications: leading feature work on an AWS cloud-native stack, with ownership of user stories from refinement all the way to production; directing the build of serverless, event-driven application workflows on Lambda and Step Functions; owning how commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products integrate into the larger system frameworks built in-house; designing and shipping the API interconnections modern system architectures rest on; or leading the data and document pipelines that make automatic what used to be manual and paper-heavy. Adaptability and a demonstrated capacity to learn new concepts, systems, and tools are what keep you ahead of program needs as projects complete and priorities shift. 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. What you'll build Cloud-native, modern systems whose streamlined, automated operation creates exceptional business value. Tested, working code you own into production, and the quality bar the whole team builds to. Automation that retires manual process: the validations, checks, and workflows that once lived in somebody's spreadsheet. The delivery path itself: the pipelines and automated tests you build and maintain rather than merely use. AI-assisted development as the default way of working: you set the pattern for tools like Amazon Q Developer. Developers who improve because they work alongside you. And over time, the firm itself, through the new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help launch.
