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 driving definition and implementation of solutions for modern applications: leading feature delivery on a cloud-native AWS stack, owning user stories from refinement through to production; leading the development of event-driven, serverless application workflows using Lambda and Step Functions; owning the integration of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products with broader, internally developed system frameworks; designing and delivering the API interconnections that modern system architectures depend on; or leading the data and document pipelines that turn manual, paper-heavy process into something automatic. Adaptability and a demonstrated capacity to learn new concepts, systems, and tools is what keeps 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.
