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 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
- As a member of our new AI team, you’ll be instrumental in delivering differentiated value to our customers
- This team is charged with crafting powerful, intuitive user experiences powered by generative AI
- You'll unlock entirely new ways for users to interact with our platform—whether through natural language commands or by enabling AI agents to handle complex tasks on their behalf
- Your work will shape safe, impactful AI-driven features that help customers solve real-world problems with greater speed and ease
- 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
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 has raised its valuation to $6.8 billion, and it's channelling resources to accelerate the company's growth, having doubled its customer base between 2025 and 20226.
