О компании

At Peregrine, we build software to power critical decision-making for public safety and emergency response organizations. These organizations use our technology to protect lives, protect property, and deliver their best service to the public.
We are motivated to help institutions solve their hardest problems through better decision-making. We are passionate about creating cutting-edge, highly scalable data platforms that enable organizations to transform the way they interact with their data.
As a team of service-oriented entrepreneurs, we trust each other, help each other, and dive into challenges together. We each strive to be empathetic, curious, inclusive, brave, and exceptional in our execution. Our customers are our partners; we listen to their needs, learn from their experiences, and develop effective software solutions to help them achieve transformational outcomes for their communities. Further, our team is advised by leading experts and practitioners in emergency management, justice, and civil liberties. These experts ensure we develop technology that is both operationally effective and trust-enhancing.
Peregrine helps public safety organizations, state and local governments, federal agencies, and private-sector institutions turn complex and disconnected data into operational intelligence. Our platform supports mission-critical decisions in environments where security, availability, data protection, and customer trust are imperative.
As Peregrine expands our work with federal customers, we are building the security and compliance capabilities necessary to operate some of our most sensitive deployments.

Обязанности

We are looking for a senior Governance, Risk, and Compliance leader to own Peregrine's FedRAMP High program and establish the security and compliance foundation required to support Department of War (DoW) deployments at DoD Impact Level (IL) 4, IL5, and IL6, ICD 503 accreditation for Top Secret environments, and agency-specific system authorizations.
This is not a generalist compliance or audit-support role. You will translate federal and defense requirements into implementable technical and operational controls and work across Security, Engineering, Product, Legal, Federal Deployment, and GTM to guide those controls through assessment, authorization, and continuous operation as Peregrine's federal business evolves.
Clearance and eligibility.  You currently hold, or are able to obtain, an active U.S. security clearance (required), and are based in Washington, D.C.
Our Washington, D.C. office is located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, and this role is expected to be hybrid, with 4 in-office days per week.

Требования

You are comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor with broad organizational influence and can drive programs across engineering, security, product, legal, operations, and customer-facing teams.
You approach compliance as an engineering and risk-management discipline and are willing to challenge weak implementations, unsupported assertions, and inadequate evidence.
You can turn complex or evolving requirements into defensible implementation strategies and communicate technical security issues clearly to engineers, executives, assessors, customers, and government security officials.
