Team

As an engineering team, we believe strongly that empathy improves our solutions. Seeing how people use the product is a priority and the way we get to the right answer. Engineers will have the opportunity to work closely with our team onsite to understand the variety of use cases that Peregrine serves.

The Platform team consists of detail-oriented engineers who drive innovation, enhance performance through technical excellence, and focus on results. We own the performance of Peregrine's mission-critical infrastructure as well as the high-risk, platform-spanning initiatives that create unmatched new capabilities.

We value both ownership and collaboration-you will take full responsibility for major features and work closely with other engineers to drive them to completion. We believe that humility and empathy are essential for building the right solutions-you will collaborate directly with our deployment team and users as we iterate to solve their problems. Perseverance and creativity are crucial to executing our vision.
Role

We are looking for experienced software engineers to join our growing platform team. As a Software Engineer on the platform team you'll have vast ownership across our stacks, making decisions that will have an outsized impact for years to come.

You'll push the boundaries of what a data platform can do by creating novel capabilities that span the platform and optimizing subsystems to achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in performance. You will work on projects such as re-architecting our Elasticsearch cluster, taking response times from seconds to milliseconds; and owning other strategic initiatives that deliver industry-leading platform performance and capabilities.

Our stack is constantly evolving but based on a backend foundation of Python, Django, Celery, Airflow, and Kafka; a frontend built in React, Redux, and Mapbox; data stores including PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch; machine learning models hosted in Bedrock and Sagemaker; and with AWS, Pulumi, Terraform, and Kubernetes as our underlying infrastructure.
