Company

Orcrist builds the Orcrist Intelligence Platform (OIP), a Kubernetes-based data intelligence system delivered as SaaS or self-hosted/on-prem (including air-gapped deployments). We fuse streaming, batch, and ML workloads with a modern web application to support defense, law-enforcement, and enterprise missions.

Role

Lead the engineering squad delivering for defense customers. You’ll stay hands-on across TypeScript and Python, guide forward-deployed teams, and ensure secure, reliable deployments in disconnected environments.

What you’ll do

  • Architect and ship mission features—sensor integrations, workflows, real-time dashboards.
  • Run deployments and incident response on-site, coordinating with commanders and SRE teams.
  • Harden air-gapped installs: GitOps, registry mirrors, audit logging, zero-trust patterns.
  • Mentor forward-deployed engineers and partner with Product/Security on roadmaps.
  • Document and deliver accreditation evidence (BSI/NATO) and post-mission lessons.

About you

  • 7+ years engineering with leadership experience in mission-critical or regulated products.
  • Hands-on with TypeScript/Node.js, React/Next.js, Python services, and Kubernetes.
  • Comfortable operating in defense environments, including travel (≈30%) and on-call.
  • Strong background in security (Keycloak/OPA, Vault, mTLS) and observability (OpenTelemetry/Prometheus).
  • EU/NATO citizenship and eligibility for security clearance.
  • German language (C1+)

Nice‑to‑haves

  • Experience shipping air-gapped systems, sensor integrations, or tactical data workflows.
  • Incident command certifications, OSS contributions, or talks on mission software.

What We Offer

  • Mission-driven work with direct operator impact; field stipend and specialized training.
  • Modern stack: TypeScript, Python, Kafka, Temporal, Kubernetes, Vault, OpenSearch.
  • Remote-first in Germany with regular deployments and Berlin meetups; 30 days vacation.
