XBRL / Arelle Analyst

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 help a federal regulator keep the financial data it receives accurate and trustworthy. Working hands-on in Arelle, the open-source eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) engine, you will validate filings, run down the errors, and refine the taxonomies behind them. 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, validated data at scale: you run Arelle to check incoming filings, interpret what the validation output is telling you, and trace every error to its source. - Better taxonomies and rules: you help maintain and sharpen the taxonomy and validation work that keeps the data consistent. - In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up. ### Who you are You are precise, curious, and relentless about getting the data right. You like untangling why something failed, and you do not stop until it is fixed. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat, quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task. ### What you bring - Hands-on comfort operating Arelle for validation and taxonomy work, and the eye to read what its output is telling you. - Working knowledge of XBRL: taxonomies, instance documents, and Inline XBRL. - The care and curiosity to get financial data right, and to chase down why it is wrong. ### What you'll need U.S. citizenship (this initial engagement may be staffed by U.S. citizens only) and the ability to obtain a Public Trust determination. This is a hybrid role based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and it requires commuting into DC regularly. Everything else, the years, the certifications, the specific tools, we ask in the application and get into during the interview. ### What we offer Fully paid medical, dental, and vision; a matched 401(k) with immediate vesting; unlimited paid time off; and sponsored certifications. Beyond that, work worth your best years. ### What we commit to As 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. We hire people who want to help build the firm, not just work at it. If that is you, apply. Peregrine Advisors is an equal opportunity employer.
