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.

We are looking for a Data Governance Engineer to join our core engineering teams. Our teams tackle a range of challenges, from enabling real-time user collaboration on detailed maps to building high-scale backend architecture for ingesting billions of data points.

The Data Governance team builds services, systems, and product features to help our customers govern all their data assets through the full lifecycle within Peregrine. We provide fine-grained, secure data access, and auditability controls.
