Tech Lead (TypeScript)
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.
Role
Lead the team that owns OIP's central surfaces: the Next.js web application, the typed tRPC API, and the Identity & Access Management (IAM) system. You'll keep a strong hands-on footprint (around 50%), evolve the platform from MVP to secure, observable, real-time foundations, and set cross-team engineering standards that other feature teams build on.

You'll keep a strong hands-on footprint (around 50%), evolve the platform from MVP to secure, observable, real-time foundations, and set cross-team engineering standards that other feature teams build on.
What you'll do
- 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 for all teams.
- Architect and implement event-driven services and typed API contracts in TypeScript/Node.js.
- Write production code ca. 50% of the time on the hardest parts (auth flows, performance fixes, real-time features).
- Establish SLOs and observability (traces, metrics, logs) and lead incident response for the Core surfaces.
- Lead architecture reviews and ADRs, drive technical decision-making, and set cross-team standards.
- Partner with Platform on Kubernetes, CI/CD, and security baselines to ship reliable releases.
- 7+ years software engineering with TypeScript/Node.js (full-stack with React).
- Deep Kubernetes experience operating production workloads.
- Cloud experience (GCP, AWS, Azure or similar).
- Led 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 & compliance: OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC/ABAC/policy, multitenancy, and audit logging.
- Experience with observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, SLOs, and error budgets.
- Experience in B2B SaaS or government/defense contexts.
- Worked with on-prem/air-gapped deployments.
- Open-source contributions, speaking/writing on technical topics.
- Python coding skills.
- 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.
- Direct impact on critical missions across private and public-sector customers.
