- Passion for crafting and shipping software solutions that delight users
- Thrive on ambiguity and love taking on hard problems
- Excellent technical vision with the ability to synthesize product requests into strong and reliable software components
- Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 3+ years of experience working with cross-functional software development teams
- Experience shipping and iterating on production-grade software components professionally and / or in the open-source community
- Ability to write robust, well tested, and well-designed code that frequently gets deployed to users
- Solid understanding of architecting and scaling distributed software systems
- Strong best practices in modern software development and comfort navigating large codebases
- San Francisco or Washington DC based candidates strongly preferred (hybrid work is acceptable)
What the job involves
- 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 Data team consists of product-oriented engineers working at the intersection of high-scale data and thoughtfully designed UX
- We own and architect the data platform powering Peregrine's user-facing applications, from our core data ingestion engine to the complex networking and pipeline tooling our Deployment Strategy team uses to deliver Peregrine to customers
- 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
- We are looking for strong developers to join our small but growing team
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll have vast ownership across our stacks, making decisions that will have an outsized impact for years to come
- Your scope of work will include a wide range of complex challenges, including scaling our platform to handle terabytes of data ingested from a variety of sources, efficiently querying and notifying users on this data in realtime, and optimizing search algorithms to serve results quickly
- 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
Our take
With the digitisation of emergency response organisations, data and incident reporting is speeding up, but this presents a problem if this information is not digestible. Emergency responders must be able to quickly translate and understand information as it comes in, or risk this faster flow of data being made redundant.
Peregrine is a data integration platform that improves emergency responses by making data more accessible, understandable and actionable. The platform can be used for public safety at different scales, such as building, city or region-wide. Its machine learning capabilities are also able to collate raw surveillance data, linking people, places and events to track targets or potential criminal activity.
With a founding team that boasts experience in both security and environmental risk analysis, Peregrine shows the potential to bridge the gap between tech and law enforcement. Funding is being channelled into accelerating the company's growth as it looks to double its employee headcount in the near future.
