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 are looking for a Data Governance Engineer to join our core engineering teams. 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.

The Data Governance team builds services, systems, and product features to help our customers govern all their data assets through the full lifecycle within Peregrine. We provide fine-grained, secure data access, and auditability controls.

Features will span fine-grained permissions, auditability, policy enforcement, metadata management, data labeling & compliance across the platform.

You will work closely with Product Managers to drive projects from idea formulation to design and implementation. You will design and build data governance features, making thoughtful trade-offs to create systems that strike the right balance between security and usability.

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.
