Role
Who you are
- 3+ years in DevOps/SRE roles with a focus on CI/CD and developer productivity
- Deep expertise in GitHub Actions (or similar) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi)
- Experience supporting Python/React apps (bonus: data pipelines/Kubernetes)
- Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and their safe integration into developer workflows (e.g., access controls, context-aware APIs)
- Strong communication—you thrive in feedback loops with engineers and stakeholders
- A bias for action: You ship incremental improvements while planning long-term fixes
- Expertise in modern software development best practices, including deployments, CI/CD, data management, security, and distributed systems
- Extensive experience with AWS or other cloud platforms, leveraging containerization and orchestration technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
- Proficiency in software engineering, particularly in Python, for developing APIs and automation tools
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi
- Strong background in Linux system administration, with proficiency in Python, Bash, or other scripting languages for automation
- Deep understanding of CI/CD tools, including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD
- Located in San Francisco bay area and open to working in office
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our growing team. As an engineering team, we believe empathy leads to better solutions
- Seeing people use the product is a priority and helps us find the right answers. Engineers will have the opportunity to work closely with our team onsite to understand the diverse use cases Peregrine serves
- We value strong ownership while fostering collaboration and continuous feedback
- As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will leverage modern tooling and practices to streamline developer workflows and accelerate delivery across our platform
- You'll drive improvements that make it easier, faster, and safer for engineers to ship code. You will take on a wide range of impactful challenges, including:
- Own the CI/CD lifecycle: Design, secure, and optimize pipelines (GitHub Actions) to accelerate app/data team workflows—from PR to production
- Champion DevEx: Reduce friction in local development (e.g., containerized environments) and deployments (e.g., self-service rollbacks)
- Integrate AI-powered tooling: Enable developers to leverage LLMs (e.g., Claude Sonnet with MCP) for code generation, debugging, and documentation—ensuring secure, context-aware integration with GitHub repos and databases
- Collaborate cross-team: Partner with infrastructure engineers on IaC (Terraform, Pulumi) and app/data engineers to debug build/test bottlenecks
- Measure and improve: Monitor pipeline health (e.g., success rates, duration) and drive adoption of observability best practices
- Automate relentlessly: Replace manual toil (e.g., environment provisioning) with scalable, documented solutions
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.
