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 is to lead the rebuild of a federal agency's internal web application, replacing an aging content-management front end with a modern React application and the services behind it. You own the architecture, from the components users touch to the interface tier that feeds them. 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

Full-stack lead experience
Experience carrying a real front-end rebuild to production
Experience with architecture and accessibility
Deep React and TypeScript experience
Node.js and API experience to own the full stack from component to service
Architecture judgment to replace a legacy content-management front end cleanly, migrating content and designing the data-transfer APIs
Judgment to build in a regulated federal environment where accessibility (Section 508) and security are not optional
U.S. citizenship
Ability to obtain a Public Trust determination

Nice To Haves

Experience experimenting, failing, learning, and repeating quickly
Preference for owning an outcome over being handed a task

Responsibilities

Lead the rebuild of a federal agency's internal web application, replacing an aging content-management front end with a modern React application and the services behind it.
Own the architecture, from the components users touch to the interface tier that feeds them.
Build a modern front end in React and TypeScript that replaces a legacy content-management system, migrating its content and the data flows that feed it.
Develop the tier behind the front end: a Node.js middleware and application programming interface (API) layer (Express, REST or GraphQL) and the data-transfer APIs that move information in and out.
Contribute to the firm itself by building new capabilities, tools, and lines of business.
