Tech Lead (TypeScript)

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. 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. About You - 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. Nice‑to‑haves - 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. What We Offer - 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.
