CI/CD and Infrastructure Engineer

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 stand up and operate the delivery pipelines and cloud infrastructure that carry federal systems into production, keeping all of it secure and automated. 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

Expect your first project to put assigned delivery pipelines squarely in your hands, along with the environments under them. Depending on the assignment, you may:

• Create secure, cloud-native infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), develop the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines used to deploy to that infrastructure, and maintain both.
• Capture that infrastructure in code, using Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Build security into the delivery path with static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), vulnerability scanning, and secrets management.
• Support the workloads that run on Docker and Kubernetes, and run down faults in infrastructure, networking, deployments, and security.
• Script the repeatable operational work, and automate provisioning and releases so that health checks and rollback are built in and every run produces its compliance evidence.
• Put National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53 (NIST SP 800-53) controls in place, and keep authorization and continuous monitoring evidence up to date.
• Use Python, and Bash when appropriate, to automate the work; speed it up with AI-assisted tools; and improve the quality of everything that ships.

Every pipeline you deliver enforces the required controls and hands release review the evidence it needs. You strip every manual step from the release path and build progressive delivery with automatic health checks and rollback, until a deployment is a non-event.

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