<div class="content-intro"><p>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 is a Kubernetes‑based platform delivered as B2B SaaS or as a self‑hosted on‑prem solution, including air‑gapped deployments. We enable customers across defense, law enforcement, and enterprise to turn mission-critical data into actionable intelligence.</p></div><h3>Role</h3> <p>We're looking for a hands-on Solution Architect to join our GovDev team. You are the technical counterpart to our customers in the public sector, defence and intelligence space: you run the technical dialogue with incoming leads, turn their requirements into<br>working prototypes on our platform, and hand what survives over to Product &amp;&nbsp;Engineering in a state they can build on.</p> <p>This is not a pre-sales or slideware role. Roughly half of your time you build: integrating&nbsp;customer data sources into our platform, wiring up pipelines on our data fabric (ODFF), and shipping demo-grade frontends. The other half you spend&nbsp;with customers and our product teams, making sure what we promise is what the&nbsp;platform can do, and what the platform can't do yet lands on the roadmap.</p> <h3>What you'll do</h3> <ul> <li>Act as technical lead on incoming opportunities: run discovery calls, qualify technical&nbsp;fit against the platform's current state, answer architecture, integration and security<br>questions, and own the technical part of pitches, demos and workshops.</li> <li>Build prototypes yourself: ingest a customer's data (files, APIs, message exports,&nbsp;sensor feeds, geodata) through our ingest layer, model it into our universal record and<br>entity schema, and expose it in the platform frontend or a purpose-built demo UI.</li> <li>Design integration architectures for customer environments: on-premise and air-gapped Kubernetes deployments, identity (OIDC/Keycloak, Kerberos/Ranger),&nbsp;connections to legacy systems and interfaces common in government and military IT.</li> <li>Lead technical deep dives with customer architects and IT security: platform&nbsp;architecture, data flow, lineage, classification handling, deployment options.</li> <li>Hand over won opportunities to the owning Product &amp; Engineering team: architecture&nbsp;decision records, integration docs, data model, open gaps, customer context.&nbsp;</li> <li>Feed platform gaps and friction found during prototyping back to the product teams as&nbsp;concrete tickets and RFC input.</li> <li>Represent the voice of the market to Product: cluster recurring requirements across&nbsp;leads and bring them into roadmap and OKR discussions.</li> <li>Maintain reusable demo assets: reference prototypes, scenario data sets, architecture&nbsp;diagrams, integration guides, technical FAQ.</li> </ul> <h3>About you</h3> <ul> <li>5+ years in software or data engineering, of which at least 1-2 in a customer-facing technical role (like solution architect, forward deployed engineer, technical consultant&nbsp;with delivery responsibility).</li> <li>You write production-quality code today, in Python and TypeScript or a comparable&nbsp;combination, and can show prototypes or systems you built end to end.</li> <li>Hands-on experience with distributed data pipelines (Spark, Kafka or equivalent) and&nbsp;with integrating heterogeneous data sources: files, APIs, databases, message streams.</li> <li>Experience deploying and operating software on Kubernetes, including on-premise or&nbsp;restricted environments.</li> <li>Comfortable leading technical discussions with customer architects, IT security and&nbsp;executives, in German and in English (C1+).</li> <li>Willingness to travel up to 50% (national and international)&nbsp;</li> <li>Authorization to work in Germany</li> </ul> <h3>What we offer</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Remote-first, Germany-wide:&nbsp;</strong>Work from wherever you do your best work, with regular team gatherings in Berlin and other off-site locations.</li> <li><strong>Flexibility by default: </strong>Flexible working hours help you make work fit your life.</li> <li><strong>Your setup, your way: </strong>Get a personal home-office equipment budget to create a workspace that works for you.</li> <li><strong>30 days of vacation:&nbsp;</strong>Take the time you need to recharge and come back with fresh energy.</li> <li><strong>Keep growing: </strong>We invest in your personal and professional development.</li> <li><strong>Get rewarded for impact: </strong>Performance bonuses are tied to agreed objectives and key results.</li> <li><strong>A warm welcome: </strong>Every new team member gets a welcome goodie bag.</li> <li><strong>Good people, good times: </strong>From summer and Christmas parties to regular team gatherings, we make time to celebrate together.</li> <li><strong>A mission that matters: </strong>Work on challenges with tangible impact on public safety and national security.</li> </ul>
