- Lead the design and deployment of customer facing AI features across Peregrine’s platform
- Translate real operational problems into deployable AI-powered solutions
- Partner deeply with Product, Deployment Strategists, and other Engineering teams to integrate AI into core workflows
AI/ML Foundations
- Own and guide fine tuning strategies and reinforcement learning to improve decision quality
- Make principled tradeoffs between classical ML, deep learning, and LLM-based approaches based on accuracy, latency, and risk
AI Infrastructure
- Shape Peregrine’s AI infrastructure, including:
- Training and inference pipelines
- Model serving, versioning, and rollback

- Demonstrated experience shipping AI-powered features into production, ideally in enterprise or mission critical environments
- Hands-on experience with model fine tuning (LLMs or deep learning models)
- Practical exposure to reinforcement learning
- Experience in designing and operating AI/ML infrastructure
- Direct ownership of model evaluation, experimentation, and quality measurement
- Strong software engineering fundamentals as a lead
Strong Plus
- Experience working with large scale and/or real-time data platforms.
- Background in domains where trust, explainability, and reliability matter (e.g., public sector, security, healthcare, finance)
- Led software engineering teams before
What Success Looks Like
- AI features are deeply embedded in Peregrine’s core product and relied on by customers
- AI is applied to generate outcomes that are measurable, monitored, and improving over time
