Senior Software Engineer, Federal Platform

Peregrine Technologies, Washington, DC +1

The role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing Platform team and help us execute on scaling Peregrine's cloud footprint. You'll build and ship initiatives that improve performance and reliability, reduce infrastructure cost, strengthen our security posture, and make the platform more developer-friendly, often all at once.

This role is hands-on: you'll take ownership of moderately complex infrastructure problems and drive them from design through to production, exercising good judgment about how your work should fit into the broader platform. You'll juggle several priorities without much day-to-day guidance, flag risks and status changes early, and weigh cost and effort tradeoffs when choosing how to implement something. You'll also start lending a hand to less experienced engineers and weighing in on technical decisions beyond your own immediate work.

Representative problems you'll work on include:
