Job description

Your first assignment

• Modern, cloud-native systems that provide exceptional business value through streamlined, automated operation.
• Working, tested code that you own through to production, including the defects you find and fix along the way.
• The automation that replaces manual process: the checks, the validations, and the workflows that used to be somebody's spreadsheet.

Who you are

You take what you build personally, and you measure it by whether it works for the people who depend on it. When priorities shift, you shift with them, and you treat every new tool and domain as a chance to get better at the craft. You communicate clearly, adapt across roles and clients, and care about creating public value. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.

What you bring

• A working command of modern cloud development, and the range to move between building something new and making something existing work better.
• The delivery habits that go with it: version control, unit and integration testing, code review, secure coding, and accessibility.
• The communication to explain your work in plain language to the people who depend on it, and to hear what they need back.
• The precision to work where accuracy and auditability are not optional.

What you’ll need

U.S. citizenship (this initial engagement may be staffed by U.S. citizens only) and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination. 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.

Peregrine Advisors is an equal opportunity employer.
