Job summary

Orcrist Technologies is building a next‑gen data intelligence platform with a Kubernetes‑based delivery model. We seek a Full-Stack Engineer to ship thin vertical slices (UI + APIs + data integrations) and package work for productization by delivery teams.

You’ll collaborate across PM and Design, iterate in discovery cycles, and ensure prototypes align with common primitives like feature flags, auth flows, and observability. This role emphasizes security and regulated environments.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production web applications and APIs in TypeScript.
• Able to scope prototypes into 1–3 week windows.
• Hands-on API and data-layer skills (PostgreSQL; optional search integration).
• Experienced with Kubernetes/GitOps; emphasizes tests, CI, and docs.

Responsibilities

• Prototype thin vertical slices across React/Next.js UI, Node.js APIs, and storage/search integrations.
• Collaborate with PM & Design in discovery cycles; quick iteration and demos.
• Align prototypes with shared primitives: feature flags, auth, auditability, multitenancy, observability.
• Integrate workflows touching streaming/orchestration (Kafka/Temporal); partner with Data/ML engineers.
• Deliver adoption package: documentation, interfaces, schemas, and backlogs.

Job description

Orcrist is building a next generation data intelligence platform using cutting-edge technologies. We're handling petabyte-scale data with sub-second queries. Our product is a Kubernetes‑based platform delivered as B2B SaaS or as a self‑hosted on‑prem solution, including air‑gapped deployments. We enable customers across defense, law enforcement, and enterprise to turn mission-critical data into actionable intelligence.

Role

Build validated prototypes—not throwaway demos. As a Full-Stack Engineer on Innovation, you’ll ship thin vertical slices end-to-end (UI + APIs + data integrations), then package your work so a delivery team can productize it confidently.

What you'll do

• Prototype thin vertical slices across React/Next.js UI, Node.js APIs, and supporting storage/search integrations.
• Collaborate with PM & Design in time-boxed discovery cycles: iterate quickly, demo often, and validate assumptions.
• Align prototypes with shared primitives and standards: feature flags, auth flows, auditability, multitenancy assumptions, and basic observability.
• Integrate workflows touching streaming/orchestration (Kafka/Temporal) and partner with Data/ML engineers when needed.
• Ship an adoption package: documentation, interfaces, schemas, and an integration backlog that reduces handoff friction.

About you

• 3+ years building production web applications and APIs in TypeScript (React/Next.js + Node).
• Strong product-engineering instincts: you can turn ambiguity into a tight 1–3 week prototype scope.
• Practical API and data-layer skills (PostgreSQL; comfortable integrating search when needed).
• Comfortable working in Kubernetes/GitOps environments and maintaining good engineering hygiene (tests, CI, docs).
• Security-conscious: you treat access control, privacy/PII handling, and audit expectations as part of “done.”
• Eligible to work in Germany; EU/NATO citizenship preferred for export-controlled projects.

Nice-to-haves

• Real-time UI experience (WebSockets/WebRTC, collaborative editing, CRDT/OT).
• Complex visualization experience (graph/geospatial UX; Cytoscape/D3/Mapbox/Cesium).
• Some Python comfort for quick data/ML integration.
• German language (B1+) and/or experience with regulated or mission-critical systems.

What we offer

• Modern stack: TypeScript/React, Node, Go, Kafka/Temporal, Postgres/OpenSearch, Kubernetes.
• High-impact work: your prototypes shape what becomes product across multiple delivery teams.
• Remote-first, Germany-wide: Work from wherever you do your best work, with regular team gatherings in Berlin and other off-site locations.
• Flexibility by default: Flexible working hours help you make work fit your life.
• Your setup, your way: Get a personal home-office equipment budget to create a workspace that works for you.
• 30 days of vacation:Take the time you need to recharge and come back with fresh energy.
• Keep growing: We invest in your personal and professional development.
• Get rewarded for impact: Performance bonuses are tied to agreed objectives and key results.
• A warm welcome: Every new team member gets a welcome goodie bag.
• Good people, good times: From summer and Christmas parties to regular team gatherings, we make time to celebrate together.
• A mission that matters: Work on challenges with tangible impact on public safety and national security.
