Description

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

Your first assignment is to help automate how a federal agency handles a high-volume stream of filer applications, turning a manual, document-heavy process into an intelligent pipeline that reads, understands, and routes each submission using optical character recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the cloud. 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

• Document-intelligence services that pull structure and meaning out of filings at scale, pairing OCR and AI with confidence scoring and the logic that decides what happens next.
• The validation and review around it: exact and fuzzy matching, business rules, and the human-review workflows that catch what the machine should not decide alone.
• In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.

Who you are

You have a hacker's mindset: you would rather ship a working prototype tonight than a perfect plan next week. You have built real document-processing systems in Python, and you move at the speed of the tools, not the clock. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat, quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.

What you bring

• Deep, hands‑on Python and real experience building document-processing systems in the cloud (Amazon Textract or its equivalents), from OCR through extraction.
• The engineering around it: data validation, matching, and the APIs and SQL that move documents through to a decision.
• The judgment to build in a regulated environment where accuracy and auditability are not optional.

What you'll need

Sole United States citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination are required for this initial engagement. This is a hybrid role based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and it requires commuting into DC regularly. Everything else, the years, the certifications, the specific tools, we ask in the application and get into during the interview.

What we offer

A high‑performing team of developers, engineers, data scientists, architects, and strategists solving complex, real‑world problems, with work that runs from strategy formulation to hands‑on implementation. We develop people across roles and clients, with extensive onboarding and sponsored training and professional development. And Peregrine has been a Benefit Corporation from day one: public value is built into the work itself, not bolted on afterward. Work worth your best years.

What we commit to

As a Benefit Corporation, our commitment runs three ways: real, measurable value for our clients; government that works better for the public; and a team that makes everyone in it better.

We hire people who want to help build the firm, not just work at it.

Peregrine Advisors is an equal opportunity employer.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision with the employee premium fully paid and half of dependent premiums
• employer‑paid life, accidental death, and short‑term and long‑term disability insurance
• a 401(k) matched 100% up to 4% of salary, vesting immediately
• unlimited paid time off
• and sponsored professional certifications and continuing education
