Full description
Peregrine Advisors is a firm founded on a simple conviction: the best solutions come from the people closest to the problem, given real ownership and the tools to deliver. We are a data and technology innovation hub and a Benefit Corporation working at the center of the federal government's mission to deliver for client stakeholders and the US public, looking for highly motivated contributors who thrive when trusted to own a hard problem and equipped to deliver the solution.
Your first assignmentYour first assignment is to help rebuild a federal agency's internal web application, building the React components and the services behind them as a legacy content-management front end gives way to a modern one. You will work within the lead's architecture and own real pieces of it. The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are.
- What you'll build
- React and TypeScript components that users rely on, built within a clear architecture and held to a high bar for quality.
- The services behind them: contributions to the Node.js middleware and application programming interface (API) tier (Express, REST or GraphQL), and the migration off the legacy content-management system.
- In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.
Who you areYou are a front-end builder who is serious about the craft and eager to go deeper. You care about how it looks, how it works, and whether everyone can use it, and you do your best work alongside people who push you. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.
What you bring• Solid React and TypeScript, building components and contributing to the Node.js and API tier.
- The web fundamentals behind them: HTML and CSS, accessible interfaces, and testing that holds up.
- The judgment to build in a regulated federal environment where accessibility (Section 508) and security are not optional.
- What you'll need
What you'll needU.S. citizenship (this initial engagement may be staffed by U.S. citizens only) and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination. This is a hybrid role based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and it requires commuting into DC regularly. Everything else, the years, the certifications, the specific tools, we ask in the application and get into during the interview.
What we offerFully paid medical, dental, and vision; a matched 401(k) with immediate vesting; unlimited paid time off; and sponsored certifications. Beyond that, work worth your best years.
What we commit toAs 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. If that is you, apply.
Peregrine Advisors is an equal opportunity employer.
