Description
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’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core engineering teams. You’ll work cross-functionally with design and product management to build systems that are robust, scalable, and user-centered. Our teams tackle a range of challenges, from enabling real-time user collaboration on detailed maps to building high-scale backend architecture for ingesting billions of data points.
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.
Role
We are looking for strong developers to join our small but growing team. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll have vast ownership across our stacks, making decisions that will have an outsized impact for years to come.
You’ll take on some of our most complex challenges—like designing scalable permission systems to manage access to terabytes of data across thousands of organizations. You’ll help build intuitive controls that let organizations decide what data to share, when to share it, and with whom. You’ll also architect frameworks for secure collaboration, enabling seamless partnerships while maintaining data sovereignty and compliance. And you’ll create advanced sharing mechanisms that strike the right balance between openness and security to unlock the full potential of cross-organizational collaboration.
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.

About this role
Peregrine Technologies is building AI-powered systems that help government and public safety organizations make faster, better decisions with data. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'd own substantial portions of their platform—from designing permission systems that govern access to terabytes of data across thousands of organizations, to architecting secure collaboration frameworks that balance openness with compliance. This is hands-on work on genuinely complex problems: real-time map collaboration, high-scale data ingestion, and cross-organizational data sharing all require both technical depth and thoughtful design.
The role demands someone with 4+ years of professional software development experience and a computer science background or equivalent. You'll need to be comfortable shipping production code at scale, architecting distributed systems, and writing well-tested, maintainable code. The tech stack spans Python, Django, and Kafka on the backend; React and Mapbox on the frontend; PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch for data; and AWS infrastructure with Kubernetes. The team values ownership and collaboration equally—you'll work closely with designers, product managers, and deployment teams to understand how real users interact with the product.
This is an in-office role in San Francisco with a salary range of $200,000–$250,000. Peregrine is backed by leading Silicon Valley investors and already serves hundreds of customers across 30+ states, so you'd be joining a growing company with real traction and meaningful impact.
