The full posting
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.
