About the Role

Peregrine Advisors is seeking motivated and skilled individuals to build cloud services in Python that automate a federal agency's high-volume filing intake. As the work evolves, you will move to where the hardest problems are, automating the handling of a high-volume stream of filer applications.

Responsibilities

Turn a manual, document-heavy intake process into a pipeline that reads, understands, and routes each submission.
Build document-intelligence services that use optical character recognition (OCR) and AI in the cloud to pull structure and meaning out of filings at scale.
Add confidence scoring and the decision logic that determines what happens to each document next.
Build the validation around it: exact and fuzzy matching and the business rules that apply to each filing.
Design the human-review workflows that catch what the machine should not decide alone.
Deliver a working document pipeline that moves filings from submission to decision, built for an environment where accuracy and auditability are not optional.

Requirements

Initial engagement requires United States citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination.
4+ years of software development experience in Python
Hands-on experience building document-processing systems in the cloud, from OCR through extraction, using Amazon Textract or an equivalent service
Experience with data validation, including exact and fuzzy matching
Experience building the application programming interfaces (APIs) and SQL that move documents through to a decision
Proficiency in writing, PowerPoint, and Excel
Experience applying large language models (LLMs), machine learning, or natural language processing (NLP) to documents (Preferred)
Experience with Amazon Bedrock (Preferred)
Experience processing PDF documents (Preferred)
You have a hacker's mindset: you would rather ship a working prototype tonight than a perfect plan next week.
You have built real document-processing systems in Python, and you move at the speed of the tools, not the clock.
You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly.
You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.
Deep, hands-on Python, with real experience building cloud document-processing systems on Amazon Textract or its equivalents, from OCR through extraction.
The engineering that surrounds it: data validation, matching, and the APIs and SQL that carry a document through to a decision.
The judgment to build in a regulated environment where accuracy and auditability are not optional.
Adapt your development workflow as AI tools evolve, using them to help implement, test, and improve the components you own.
Give the tools clear context, review and test their output, and remain accountable for the code you deliver.

About the Company

Peregrine Advisors is a rapidly growing AI and data innovation hub helping government solve hard problems and deliver better outcomes.
We work across the full lifecycle—from strategy and governance through architecture, engineering, analytics, AI, visualization, and training—for clients including the SEC, PCAOB, DDOT, and DCAA.
Winner of the United Nations COP27 Datathon, our work has earned all Exceptional CPARS ratings, SEC Chair’s Awards, the SEC Vision Award, and recognition from FDA leadership.
Peregrine is the first and only social enterprise organized as a Benefit Corporation and SBA 8(a) company focused on AI and data for government.
We believe business success should create client value, social value, and opportunity for our people.
As we enter our next stage of growth, we need dependable, motivated, and skilled people who have a combination of intellectual curiosity and intellectual courage.
With new clients, larger programs, and expanding responsibilities, the people joining Peregrine now will have the opportunity to help shape the company we become.
People first. Ownership always.
We solve problems through people, process, and technology—in that order.
Technology matters, but people make transformation happen. That principle defines our culture.
Trust and motivation are the foundational pillars of delivery on which our skills stand.
We hire people we can trust, who care deeply about what they do, take ownership, learn quickly, help one another, and refuse to walk past a problem because it belongs to someone else.
At Peregrine, you are not joining simply to fill a position. You are joining a team, taking ownership of a mission, and helping build a company.
We support your development across assignments and clients through extensive onboarding, sponsored professional certifications such as the Data Management Capability Assessment Model (DCAM) and AWS technical certifications, and rotation across functions to expand your skills and perspective.
The mission is real, the problems are hard, and you own what you ship.
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.
