Summary
✨ AI‑Generated
A technology-focused organization is seeking a full-stack engineer to create validated end-to-end prototypes. The role involves building modern web interfaces, backend services, and data integrations while collaborating with cross-functional teams to transform ideas into scalable solutions.
Highlights
Opportunity to build impactful prototypes into production-ready solutions, work across the full stack, and collaborate in fast-paced innovation cycles.
Description
Full-Stack Engineer (TypeScript)
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 turn complex, multi-modal data into actionable intelligence for defense, law-enforcement, and enterprise teams.
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/Next.js/React, Node, Kafka/Temporal, Postgres/OpenSearch, Kubernetes.Remote-first in Germany with regular Berlin prototyping sprints, 30 days vacation, equipment & learning budget.High-impact work: your prototypes shape what becomes product across multiple delivery teams.
