What is an XBRL job?

An XBRL job involves working with eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), a standardized format for exchanging business and financial data. Professionals in this field ensure compliance with financial reporting regulations, prepare and validate XBRL filings, and work with accounting or regulatory teams to streamline data submission.

As an XBRL specialist, your day-to-day tasks often include preparing and validating financial reports in XBRL format, mapping financial data to appropriate taxonomies, and collaborating with accounting or compliance teams to ensure regulatory accuracy. You'll regularly work with specialized XBRL software to tag data and review filings before submission to regulatory agencies. Problem-solving and troubleshooting are common, as each filing may present unique data challenges or require updated taxonomy elements. The role also involves staying current with evolving standards and regulations, making ongoing learning a key aspect of the job. You’ll frequently interact with finance, IT, and regulatory colleagues, so teamwork and communication are essential.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Xbrl position, and why are they important?

To thrive in an XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) specialist role, you need a solid understanding of financial accounting principles, regulatory reporting frameworks, and strong data management skills, often supported by degrees in accounting, finance, or information systems. Experience with XBRL software platforms, taxonomy creation, and familiarity with SEC reporting standards or similar regulatory environments is highly valuable, as are certifications in financial reporting or data analytics. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are important soft skills for successful collaboration with finance teams and regulators. These competencies ensure accurate, compliant, and streamlined digital reporting processes in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape.

Job description

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 modernize how a federal regulator validates the financial data it receives in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), on what may be one of the largest XBRL implementations in existence. You will work in Arelle, the open-source XBRL engine, extending it with the plugins, validation rules, and pipelines that turn incoming filings into validated, trusted data. 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
  • Arelle plugins and extensions, built on its plugin architecture and application programming interfaces (APIs), that add and enforce the validation rules a federal filing program depends on.
  • Validation pipelines across the full XBRL stack: taxonomies and linkbases, Inline XBRL (iXBRL), Formula, and the Open Information Model (OIM).
  • In time, the firm itself: new capabilities, tools, and lines of business you help spin up.
Who you are
You are a strong software engineer first, and you go deep. You have built and shipped real systems in Python, and you master a hard domain rather than skirting it. You experiment, fail, learn, and repeat quickly. You would rather own an outcome than be handed a task.
What you bring
  • Senior-level software engineering with strong Python, including building against plugin architectures and APIs.
  • Deep XBRL, or the engineering talent and drive to get there fast, across the specification stack, taxonomy work, and validation.
  • The judgment to build in a regulated environment where accuracy and auditability are not optional.
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.
