About The Position

Peregrine Advisors Benefit Inc. is seeking a Software Developer to design, develop, and maintain enterprise applications for a Department of Defense agency. The role focuses on building and supporting applications using SharePoint, Power Platform, and automation tools while collaborating with DevSecOps teams and ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity requirements.
Why Peregrine
Peregrine is a Benefit corporation – legally committed to creating measurable social value alongside business performance. We offer mission-driven, technically challenging work on complex federal initiatives, paired with direct client access, real ownership of your work product, and a culture that rewards initiative. We hire based on potential, not experience, and provide extensive onboarding support, sponsored certifications, and professional development to ensure a smooth transition into the role.
Who You Are
You are a builder who takes pride in delivering software that works reliably in high-stakes environments. You understand that enterprise development for a DoD agency demands more than clean code – it requires attention to security, compliance, and the operational reality of the people who depend on your applications. You are comfortable working across SharePoint, Power Platform, and modern development frameworks, and you see DevSecOps not as overhead but as an integral part of how good software gets built. You take initiative without being asked and want ownership of the firm’s trajectory, not just your deliverables.
