Staff Software Engineer designs and builds scalable data infrastructure for a public-safety AI platform, focusing on real-time ingestion, storage, and processing using AWS, Apache Iceberg, Spark, Kafka, and Kubernetes.
Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, Peregrine helps public safety organizations, state and local and governments, federal agencies, and private-sector institutions address society’s challenges with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our AI-enabled platform turns siloed and disconnected data into operational intelligence — instantly surfacing mission-critical information to empower better, faster decisions that improve outcomes at every touchpoint. Today Peregrine supports hundreds of customers across 30+ states and two countries, serving more than 125 million people — and we’re amplifying our impact as we expand into the enterprise and internationally.
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.
We are looking for a Staff Data Infrastructure Engineer to join our growing team, where you will have deep ownership over the data layer that underpins everything Peregrine does. You will architect and build the systems that ingest, store, and serve massive volumes of real-time operational data — enabling our customers to make critical decisions with speed and confidence.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who thrives on hard technical problems and brings the experience and judgment to shape foundational infrastructure decisions. You will tackle a wide range of complex challenges, including:
Our stack is constantly evolving but is built on AWS GovCloud, Apache Iceberg, Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Airflow, Kubernetes, and more.
Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, certifications or licenses, and specific work location. Information on the benefits offered is here.
Peregrine Technologies is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We celebrate diversity and are a proud equal opportunity employer.
