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.
Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for orcristtechnologies. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
