About Peregrine
Peregrine Advisors is a rapidly growing AI and data innovation hub helping government solve hard problems and deliver better outcomes. We work across the full lifecycle—from strategy and governance through architecture, engineering, analytics, AI, visualization, and training—for clients including the SEC, PCAOB, DDOT, and DCAA.
Our clients describe our support as “absolutely excellent” and our people as “instrumental to organization’s success.” Winner of the United Nations COP27 Datathon, our work has earned all Exceptional CPARS ratings, SEC Chair’s Awards, the SEC Vision Award, and recognition from FDA leadership.
We are also built differently. Peregrine is the first and only social enterprise organized as a Benefit Corporation and SBA 8(a) company focused on AI and data for government. We believe business success should create client value, social value, and opportunity for our people.
As we enter our next stage of growth, we need dependable, motivated, and skilled people who have a combination of intellectual curiosity and intellectual courage. With new clients, larger programs, and expanding responsibilities, the people joining Peregrine now will have the opportunity to help shape the company we become.
People first. Ownership always.
We solve problems through people, process, and technology, in that order. Technology matters, but people make transformation happen. That principle defines our culture. Trust and motivation are the foundational pillars of delivery on which our skills stand. We hire people we can trust, who care deeply about what they do, take ownership, learn quickly, help one another, and refuse to walk past a problem because it belongs to someone else.
At Peregrine, you are not joining simply to fill a position. You are joining a team, taking ownership of a mission, and helping build a company. If that excites you, we should talk.
At Peregrine Advisors, you will help design and build the lakehouse that a federal agency's data products, reporting, and machine learning run on. But we hire people, not seats. As the work evolves, you will learn new systems and tools, take on greater responsibility, and help develop the firm's capabilities, tools, and lines of business. We move our best to where the hardest problems are.
This is a full-time W-2 position with a salary of $120,000 to $140,000 per year. It is a remote position. The initial engagement requires United States citizenship; dual citizenship and green card holders are prohibited by the contract terms. It also requires the ability to satisfy the required suitability, security, and access requirements.
Your first project
A lakehouse keeps data in open, low-cost storage, as a data lake does, and adds the transactions, schemas, and governance of a data warehouse. Your first project will likely have you owning defined parts of the target lakehouse architecture on Azure Databricks and guiding their implementation within the program's established architecture. Depending on the assignment, you may:
You deliver components the agency can explain, govern, and extend. You make the tradeoffs explicit, write them down, and leave the team patterns it can apply without you in the room.
This is where you start, not the shape of your career here.
Preferred
Who you are
You think in systems and in the people who will use them. You can explain why a table belongs in one layer and not another, and you would rather settle a design question once in a written decision than reopen it in every review. You work within an established architecture and improve it from the inside. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.
What you bring
You adapt your development workflow as AI tools evolve, using them to help implement, test, and improve the components you own. You give the tools clear context, review and test their output, and remain accountable for the code you deliver.
When we talk
Be prepared to discuss a difficult problem you worked through, the decisions you made, what happened, and what you learned.
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) with an employer match of up to 4% of salary; unlimited paid time off; and sponsored professional certifications and continuing education.
What we offer
You will work alongside developers, engineers, data scientists, architects, and strategists, on work ranging from strategy to implementation. We support your development across assignments and clients through extensive onboarding, sponsored professional certifications such as the Data Management Capability Assessment Model (DCAM) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) technical certifications, and rotation across functions to expand your skills and perspective. The mission is real, the problems are hard, and you own what you ship.
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. If that is you, apply.

Powered by Workable
OpenData is a collaborative effort that makes public data easier to access and use. It collects public datasets, standardizes them, and centralizes them so researchers, analysts, and governments can find reliable data in one place. The service works by providing access to standardized datasets—through partnerships, subscriptions, or data services—so users can download, analyze, and apply the data to research and policy work. Unlike more traditional data providers, OpenData emphasizes open access and collaboration, focusing on broad accessibility and the usefulness of data for innovation rather than selling bespoke data products. The goal is to empower researchers and organizations to gain insights, drive innovation, and enable positive social impact through open, high-quality public data.
