Team

As an engineering team, we believe strongly that empathy improves our solutions. Seeing 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.

The Apps team consists of product-oriented engineers with an ethos to develop rich capabilities via thoughtfully designed UX. We build a comprehensive platform that enables users to make mission-critical decisions. Our search, investigative, and analytical applications include maps, networks, charts, dashboards, and more.

We value both ownership and collaboration—you will take full responsibility for major features and work closely with other engineers to drive them to completion. We believe that humility and empathy are essential for building the right solutions—you will collaborate directly with our deployment team and users as we iterate to solve their problems. Perseverance and creativity are crucial to executing our vision.

Role

We are looking for a developer to expand our mobile offering into a best-in-class app. As one of our first dedicated mobile engineers, you'll take ownership of the mobile product—overseeing the technical architecture and ensuring its scalability and performance.

• Enabling interactive, performant maps with hundreds of thousands of data points
• Streamlining the ability for users to access their most important information quickly

Our mobile stack includes React Native, TypeScript, Expo, and Mapbox.

About you

• Desire and drive to own large portions of the application from start to finish
• Thrive on ambiguity and love taking on hard problems
• Passion for crafting and shipping software solutions that delight users
• Ability to raise the bar for and accelerate the development of the mobile application
• Excellent technical vision with the ability to synthesize product requests into strong and reliable software components

What we look for

• Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience working with cross-functional software development teams
• Extensive experience applying best practices to build robust mobile applications with React Native
• Proficiency in TypeScript and related frameworks
• San Francisco or Washington DC based candidates strongly preferred (hybrid work is acceptable)

Salary Range: $130,000 - $225,000 Annually + Benefits + Equity (if applicable) + Bonus (if applicable)

Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, certifications or licenses, and specific work location.
