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 serve as our full-time technical continuity across three production data products for a federal agency. But we hire people, not seats. As the work evolves, you will learn new systems and tools, take on greater responsibility, and help develop the firm's capabilities, tools, and lines of business. We move our best to where the hardest problems are.\nThis is a remote position. The initial engagement requires United States citizenship; dual citizenship and green card holders are prohibited by the contract terms. It also requires the ability to satisfy the required suitability, security, and access requirements.\nYour first project\nYour first project builds critical components, integrates partner work, owns data quality, and leaves the products understandable and supportable after cutover. You will deliver:\nReliable ingestion and transformation pipelines across a legacy system, the current system of record, and multi-format contractor submissions, with traceable source-to-target mappings.\nData Vault 2.0 and Gold tier models that support the required analytics and can be queried independently by agency analysts.\nDocumented deduplication, reconciliation, and data quality controls, including the evidence required for acceptance.\nIntegrated semantic models, Microsoft Power BI support, performance optimization, and production-ready code.\nTechnical review of partner work before it enters the Peregrine acceptance process.\nComplete data dictionaries, pipeline specifications, runbooks, and knowledge transfer materials.\nThis is where you start, not the shape of your career here.\nRequirements\n8+ years in data engineering or analytics engineering, including at least three years with Azure Databricks or a comparable lakehouse platform\nBachelor's degree\nAdvanced Structured Query Language (SQL) and Python or PySpark, Delta Lake, extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT), orchestration, schema design, data quality, and performance tuning\nHands-on experience with Data Vault 2.0, dimensional modeling, semantic models, and production analytics\nWorking familiarity with Unity Catalog, source control, automated deployment, environment promotion, and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI and CD)\nAbility to support Microsoft Power BI datasets and dashboards and to collaborate with machine learning engineers on feature pipelines and model deployment\nStrong technical writing and the discipline to maintain diagrams, mappings, specifications, and runbooks as the build changes\nUnited States citizenship; dual citizenship and green card holders are prohibited by the contract terms\nThe ability to satisfy the required suitability, security, and access requirements\nPreferred\nExperience on a federal system accredited at Impact Level 5 (IL-5) or higher\nDatabricks Data Engineer, Azure Data Engineer, or a relevant cloud certification\nServiceNow data, federal audit data, government financial data, or controlled federal environments\nExperience moving solutions between Azure environments using infrastructure as code and Databricks Asset Bundles\nWho you are\nYou build critical components, integrate partner work, own data quality, and make sure the products stay understandable and supportable after cutover. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.\nWhat you bring\nHands-on and exacting. You prefer working code and reconciled data to architecture theater.\nComfortable challenging assumptions with evidence and changing course when the data proves the design wrong.\nAble to teach, document, and review without becoming a bottleneck.\nReliable in a partner-heavy team and willing to own the seams between work packages.\nCurious about audit and planning questions, not only platform mechanics.\nWhen we talk\nBe prepared to discuss a difficult problem you worked through, the decisions you made, what happened, and what you learned.\nBenefits\nThis is a full-time W-2 position with a salary of $155,000 to $175,000 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) matched 100% up to 4% of salary, vesting immediately; 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":7349,"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":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","Job Boards & Aggregators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T09:20:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.521,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":21,"expected_fill_days":4,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":175000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-data-jobs-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-data-jobs-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T05:44:08Z","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":3536,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead"},{"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-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopen-data-jobs-senior-data-engineer-and-analytics-lead"}]}
