<div class="content-intro"><p>Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, <span class="discussion-id-31a93d43-caca-80de-b81c-001cca9095e7 notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="1">Peregrine helps public safety organizations, state and local and governments, federal agencies</span>, and private-sector institutions address society’s challenges with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our AI-enabled platform turns siloed and disconnected data into operational intelligence — instantly surfacing mission-critical information to empower better, faster decisions that improve outcomes at every touchpoint. Today Peregrine supports hundreds of customers across 30+ states and two countries, serving more than 125 million people — and we’re amplifying our impact as we expand into the enterprise and internationally. </p></div><h2>The role</h2>
<p>Peregrine's value lives below the surface. We unify dozens of disconnected data sources, resolve entities, preserve context, and ground AI in that unified picture. The visible product is a small fraction of the work that drives customer outcomes. The harder, more durable value lives in the integration layer underneath. This is a builder role for someone excited to make that layer legible, defensible, and competitive for audiences ranging from public safety operators to federal evaluators to commercial technical buyers. The work starts from technical depth; everything else in the role builds on it. Peregrine is creating a category without established head-to-head competitors, so a core part of this role is teaching the market what to evaluate.</p>
<p>You will be the founding Technical Product Marketer, reporting to the VP of Product Marketing. There is no technical marketing foundation yet; you will build it from scratch for prospects, analysts, and sellers, and Solutions Marketing will adapt it for specific verticals and audiences. This role owns product positioning, messaging, and competitive narrative across the platform: what Peregrine claims, how those claims are defended, and what the market learns to evaluate.</p>
<h2><strong>In this role you will...</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Own technical positioning and messaging for the core platform: data unification, entity resolution, AI grounding, integration architecture, and the operational AI layer built on that foundation.</li>
<li>Demystify the category itself. Build the first-principles content that explains why unifying operational data, resolving entities, and grounding AI are genuinely hard problems, why common approaches fall short, and what an architecture built for this work actually requires.</li>
<li>Build the technical content library the rest of marketing and sales depends on: technical whitepapers, architecture briefs, security and compliance content, and AI substantiation that holds up under public, legal, and political scrutiny.</li>
<li>Turn competitive technical intelligence into asymmetric sales tools and teardowns that hold up against horizontal data platforms, operational AI platforms, and AI point solutions.</li>
<li>Contribute product-led narratives to high-visibility launches, with focus on the technical proof points that make each launch credible.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>What you'll bring</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>5+ years of work experience across engineering and product marketing. A technical foundation is required: a computer science or related degree, an early-career engineering role, or equivalent built depth. You can read a spec, work through a data model, and defend an architectural claim to our CTO.</li>
<li>Product marketing experience in B2B SaaS, AI, or data infrastructure. You have authored positioning where none existed and built competitive teardowns that moved real deals.</li>
<li>Management consulting experience can add supporting depth in structured problem decomposition, analytical rigor, and the ability to learn complex domains fast. However it does not substitute for the technical foundation.</li>
<li>Exceptional writing. You can produce technical content that holds up to a technical reader and translates cleanly for a non-technical one.</li>
<li>Comfort moving between deep technical conversations with engineers and business outcome conversations with executives, without losing either audience.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What success looks like</h2>
<ul>
<li>Build a working mental model of Peregrine's platform, deep enough to defend technical claims independently across the stack.</li>
<li>Sellers reach for your content unprompted in deal cycles.</li>
<li>Peregrine has a defensible technical narrative against horizontal data platforms, operational AI platforms, and AI point solutions that sellers and prospects can articulate consistently.</li>
<li>Peregrine's AI claims hold up under technical and security reviews and public scrutiny.</li>
<li>Build trusted partnerships with Product, Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering and Solutions Marketing.</li>
<li>Influence the product-led narrative for major launches.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>You might thrive in this role if...</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>You started in engineering or technical product work and deliberately moved toward the market side.</li>
<li>You're curious about how things actually work and unsatisfied with surface explanations.</li>
<li>You're energized by translation work: taking complex technical depth and making it clear, defensible, and competitive.</li>
<li>You're energized by category-shaping work, not just category-winning work. You'd rather define what "good" looks like than out-position named competitors on established criteria.</li>
<li>Writing is a craft for you and you care about getting the details right.</li>
<li>You move between technical and non-technical audiences without losing either.</li>
<li>You want to own a layer of the product story that compounds over time, rather than running one launch after another.</li>
<li>You're drawn to mission-driven work and the chance to support public safety, emergency response, and government agencies with real operational impact.</li>
