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
- 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
- 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

- Machine learning models hosted in Bedrock and Sagemaker; and with AWS, Pulumi, Terraform, and Kubernetes as our underlying infrastructure
Our take
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. And funding is being channelled into accelerating the company's growth as it looks to double its employee headcount in the near future.
