Data Architect (AWS, Data Lake)
Peregrine Advisors is a firm founded on a simple conviction: the best solutions come from the people closest to the problem, given real ownership and the tools to deliver. We are a data and technology innovation hub and a Benefit Corporation working at the center of the federal government's mission to deliver for client stakeholders and the US public, looking for highly motivated contributors who thrive when trusted to own a hard problem and equipped to deliver the solution.
Your first assignment
Your first assignment is to shape the data architecture and data models for a large federal data-lake platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS): S3, Apache Iceberg, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, and DynamoDB. The work is real, hard, and it matters. It is also where you start, not the shape of your career here: we hire people, not seats, and we move our best to where the hardest problems are.
What you'll build
- Clean data models and schemas across the lake and the relational stores (S3 with Apache Iceberg tables, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, and DynamoDB).
- The architecture that brings the data together: you design the models and schemas that new and migrated sources land in, and you restructure the existing ecosystem to cut redundancy and protect integrity and accessibility, all under governed access.
- In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.
