Our 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’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core engineering teams. You’ll work cross-functionally with design and product management to build systems that are robust, scalable, and user-centered. 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. 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.

You’ll help build intuitive controls that let organizations decide what data to share, when to share it, and with whom. You’ll also architect frameworks for secure collaboration, enabling seamless partnerships while maintaining data sovereignty and compliance. And you’ll create advanced sharing mechanisms that strike the right balance between openness and security to unlock the full potential of cross-organizational collaboration. 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.
