Fullstack Developer (Python, React)

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.

Your work at Peregrine Advisors will cover both development and support for cloud-native Python services running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). But we hire people, not seats. As the work evolves, you will move to where the hardest problems are.

This is a hybrid work arrangement based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and the commuting cadence varies by assignment. The initial engagement requires United States citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination.

Your first project

On your first project, you will likely see user stories through every stage, from refinement to production. Depending on the assignment, you may:

• Turn user stories into back-end features written in Python on a cloud-native AWS stack.
• Create the React.js screens and components through which users reach those features.
• Connect internal systems to commercial products by creating the integrations and application programming interfaces (APIs) between them.
• Rely on Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), AWS Lambda, and related AWS services to automate workflows.
• Contribute to automating the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, produce secure, accessible code, and provide production support for your services.
• Write tests at both the unit and integration levels, take part in code reviews, and fix the defects you uncover as you carry the work through to production.
• Support quality development practices, with test-driven development and automated testing among them.
• Make AI-assisted development tools part of your daily routine, reviewing and testing all of their output.

You take responsibility for delivering tested, working code, carrying it through production and finding and fixing its defects. Your automation replaces the spreadsheet workflows, manual checks, and validations in business operations, and you create deployment pipelines that make service releases routine.

This is where you start, not the shape of your career here.
