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.\nOur clients describe our support as “absolutely excellent” and our people as “instrumental to organization’s success.” 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.\nWe are also built differently. 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.\nAs 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.\nPeople first. Ownership always.\nWe 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.\nAt 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. If that excites you, we should talk.\nAt Peregrine Advisors, you will share in operating the automation, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and secure cloud infrastructure that keep federal systems running. But we hire people, not seats. As the work evolves, you will move to where the hardest problems are.\nThis is a hybrid work arrangement based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and the commuting cadence varies by assignment. The initial engagement requires United States citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination.\nYour first project\nExpect your first project to put you shoulder to shoulder with engineers, on pipelines a team leans on every day. Depending on the assignment, you may:\nContribute to the Terraform or CloudFormation code that defines infrastructure.\nUnder senior engineers' guidance, develop and maintain deployment automation and pipelines.\nPitch in on running Docker containers and Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments, from orchestration to monitoring and logging.\nWire vulnerability checks, security scans, and policy controls into the delivery pipeline.\nTurn repeatable operational tasks into Python scripts, reaching for Bash or PowerShell when those suit better, and close out every finding that comes back.\nTake a hand in mapping and implementing National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53 (NIST SP 800-53) controls, and automate the evidence that shows compliance.\nBring AI-assisted tools into your pipeline, testing, and scripting work, and verify every output they produce.\nCode review sees every change you make, and you walk reviewers through the change and your reasons. That is where you learn what makes a change correct, not just that it runs. You automate the team's manual tasks, and you build your share of a practice that designs security in from the start instead of bolting it on later.\nThis is where you start, not the shape of your career here.\nRequirements\n1+ years of experience in software development, platform engineering, or operations engineering\nA bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, cybersecurity, engineering, or a related technical discipline\nPractical use of one or more pipeline tools, grounded in a working knowledge of CI/CD concepts\nAbility to write scripts in Python (Bash or PowerShell skills a plus)\nFamiliarity with Docker and containerization, together with the cloud services AWS offers\nExposure to tools that express infrastructure as code, for example CloudFormation or Terraform\nA basic understanding of how containers are orchestrated\nExperience with the fundamentals of Linux\nKnowledge of web applications and application programming interfaces, together with networking concepts and load balancing\nGrounding in the principles of cloud security and in practices for delivering software securely\nSkill at tracking down and resolving problems in infrastructure and in deployments\nExperience generating and reviewing code with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot\nProficiency in writing, PowerPoint, and Excel\nPreferred\nPrior work in information technology for the federal government\nExposure to one or more of these areas: Authority to Operate (ATO) processes, NIST SP 800-53 controls, or Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) compliance\nAn AWS certification or practical experience delivering production workloads on AWS\nA background with security tooling or vulnerability scanning, for example dynamic application security testing (DAST), policy-as-code, or static application security testing (SAST)\nWho you are\nFor you, security and reliability belong in the build from the first commit, never in a final gate, and you are eager to grow into an engineer whose automation replaces other people's manual work and leaves an audit trail. When you hit a wall, you ask rather than guess. Feedback is your fastest way forward, and when priorities move, you move with them. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.\nWhat you bring\nA grounding in cloud fundamentals, networking, Linux, scripting, and delivery automation, and an appetite to dig deeper into security.\nDelivery habits in secure configuration, code review, automated testing, and version control, or a willingness to build them quickly.\nClear, plain updates: what you have finished, where you are stuck, and what you need.\nThe care to hold up where accuracy and auditability cannot slip.\nYou adapt your development workflow as AI tools evolve, using them to help implement, test, and improve the components you own. You give the tools clear context, review and test their output, and remain accountable for the code you deliver.\nWhen we talk\nBe prepared to discuss a difficult problem you worked through, the decisions you made, what happened, and what you learned. The technical assessment is a live Python coding challenge without AI.\nBenefits\nThis is a full-time W-2 position with a salary of $80,000 to $95,000 per year.\nBenefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance with the employee premium fully paid and half of dependent premiums; employer-paid life, accidental death, and short-term and long-term disability insurance; a 401(k) with an employer match of up to 4% of salary; unlimited paid time off; and sponsored professional certifications and continuing education.\nWhat we offer\nYou will work alongside developers, engineers, data scientists, architects, and strategists, on work ranging from strategy to implementation. 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.\nWhat we commit to\nAs 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.\nWe hire people who want to help build the firm, not just work at it. If that is you, apply.\nPeregrine Advisors is an equal opportunity employer.\nPeregrine exclusively works with OPEN Data Jobs to recruit our team. Register with OPEN Data Jobs to be considered for this and future openings.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8309,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["DevSecOps","IT Consulting & Digital Transformation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T05:04:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":13,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T06:01:50Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":95000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T06:01:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12737,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679417},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679417"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/open-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-associate-devsecops-engineer-python-cicd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4221201}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"opendatajobs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4221201},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
