About the role
About the Company
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 (OIP) is a Kubernetes‑based platform delivered as B2B SaaS or as a self‑hosted/on‑prem solution, including air‑gapped deployments.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the core app surfaces: the React web app, the tRPC API, and our real‑time UI and admin consoles
- Define platform primitives: IAM (authn/authz), multitenancy, and audit logging as reusable building blocks
- Architect and implement event‑driven services and typed API contracts in TypeScript/Node.js
- Write production code approximately 50% of the time on critical components like auth flows and performance fixes
- Establish SLOs and observability (traces, metrics, logs) and lead incident response
- Lead architecture reviews and ADRs, driving technical decision‑making and cross‑team standards
- Partner with Platform teams on Kubernetes, CI/CD, and security baselines
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience with TypeScript/Node.js and React
- Deep Kubernetes experience operating production workloads
- Cloud experience (GCP, AWS, Azure or similar)
- Proven experience leading technical teams and major architecture migrations
- Strong mentorship track record
- Solid distributed systems fundamentals and event‑driven patterns (Kafka/NATS or similar)
- Experience with security and compliance: OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC/ABAC, multitenancy, and audit logging
- Experience with observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, SLOs, and error budgets
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in B2B SaaS or government/defense contexts
- Experience with on‑prem/air‑gapped deployments
- Open‑source contributions or technical speaking/writing
- Python coding skills
Benefits
- Modern architecture & stack (TypeScript, React, Node.js, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, GCP)
- Remote‑first in Germany with occasional team events in Berlin
- Home office budget and great equipment
- 30 days vacation
