Job description

Backed by leading investors from Silicon Valley, Peregrine supports public safety agencies across the country — from Los Angeles to Louisville to Atlanta — empowering public servants to improve operations and make better decisions in the moments that matter. Today, our technology is used by customers to serve more than 30 million Americans. We’re motivated to build technologies by partnering with our customers; we listen to their needs, learn from their experiences, and develop effective solutions to help them achieve transformational outcomes. Together, we’re creating safer communities, protecting privacy and civil liberties, and helping everyone in America thrive.

We are a team of public service entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving hard problems. We trust and help each other, and love diving into challenges together.

We’re just getting started.

Role

We are looking to add a Network Engineer to expand our small but exceptional Infrastructure team. We need engineers who love taking on hard problems in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. As one of our first Network Engineers, you will work with our infrastructure team to help drive our networking strategy and set the foundation of our networking technology.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Why are you being asked to complete this form? We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at
