Peregrine Advisors is a firm founded on a simple conviction: the best solutions come from the people closest to the problem, given real ownership and the tools to deliver. We are a data and technology innovation hub and a Benefit Corporation working at the center of the federal government's mission to deliver for client stakeholders and the US public, looking for highly motivated contributors who thrive when trusted to own a hard problem and equipped to deliver the solution.

Your first assignment

Your first assignment is to shape the data architecture and data models for a large federal data-lake-plus-warehouse platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are.

What you'll build

• Clean data models and schemas across the lake and the warehouse (Amazon Redshift, S3, and relational databases).
• The architecture that brings the data together: you design the models and schemas that new and migrated sources land in, and you restructure the existing ecosystem to cut redundancy and protect integrity and accessibility, all under governed access.
• In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.

Who you are

You are a data architect who sees the whole system and cares how every piece fits. You model with precision, you explain a design to engineers and executives alike, and you leave a data estate better than you found it. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat, quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.

What you bring

• Deep data modeling and schema design across a data lake and warehouse on AWS.
• The architect's toolkit around it: cloud data services, governed access, modeling tools, and the judgment to restructure a live ecosystem without breaking it.
• The communication to carry a design past technical and non-technical stakeholders, in a regulated environment where accuracy and auditability are not optional.

What you'll need

U.S. citizenship (this initial engagement may be staffed by U.S. citizens only) and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination. This is a hybrid role based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and it requires commuting into DC regularly. Everything else, the years, the certifications, the specific tools, we ask in the application and get into during the interview.

What we offer

Fully paid medical, dental, and vision; a matched 401(k) with immediate vesting; unlimited paid time off; and sponsored certifications. Beyond that, work worth your best years.

What we commit to

As a Benefit Corporation, our commitment runs three ways: real, measurable value for our clients; government that works better for the public; and a team that makes everyone in it better.

We hire people who want to help build the firm, not just work at it. If that is you, apply.
