Job Description

Job 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 stand up the pipelines and secure infrastructure that carry a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) financial stack into production for a federal agency, deploying CGI Momentum on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or in-environment with automation, monitoring, and security built in from the start. You will own continuous integration and delivery, infrastructure-as-code, and the controls that earn an Authority to Operate (ATO). 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

• Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and infrastructure-as-code that deploy the COTS stack (Momentum on AWS or in-environment) repeatably and securely.
• The security fabric around it: containerization, monitoring and logging, vulnerability scanning, and the evidence that carries a system through its Authority to Operate (ATO).
• In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.

Who you are

You treat security and reliability as part of the build, not a gate at the end, because in a federal payments environment they cannot be an afterthought. You automate what others do by hand and you leave an audit trail behind you. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.

What you bring

• Hands-on CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and containerization for deploying real systems on AWS or in a federal environment.
• The federal security craft around it: FISMA and NIST 800-53 controls, ATO support, and vulnerability scanning.
• The judgment to build in a regulated environment where security 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.

We hire people who want to help build the firm, not just work at it. If that is you, apply.
