Our Team

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 an Engineering Manager 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’re looking for an Engineering Team Lead to join our growing team and drive impactful projects, foster an inclusive team culture, and lead technical decision-making.

This role is for someone who thrives in both people management and hands-on technical leadership. You’ll develop a high-performing team, guide them through complex technical challenges, and ensure their work aligns with our business priorities. The ideal candidate will balance mentorship while maintaining high standards in technical execution.

You’ll drive impactful work that delivers value to our customers, from aiding emergency responders during a hurricane to diffusing complex organized crime. We are building innovative capabilities that enable new workflows for our customers. As a leader, you will ensure that we execute well on these initiatives.

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.
