<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 class="isSelectedEnd">Build and evolve AirSpot, a mobile app that lets the public report drone sightings while giving law enforcement and defense teams the information they need to understand what's happening in the airspace around them.</p><p class="isSelectedEnd">You'll work across the full mobile surface: real-time geospatial data, reporting workflows, maps, alerts, feeds, and offline-capable experiences. The app is already under development with React Native and Expo; you'll join an early team, co-own the architecture, and help take it from an early product to a production-grade application used by real people.</p><p>This is a hands-on senior engineering role. You'll make architectural decisions, build features end to end, improve performance and reliability, and help establish the engineering practices that the mobile team will grow around.</p><h3>What you'll do</h3><ul><li>Build and ship production mobile features with React Native, Expo, TypeScript, and Expo Router.</li><li>Own architectural decisions across state management, data fetching, offline behavior, navigation, and the mobile build/release pipeline.</li><li>Build geospatial experiences with MapLibre, including real-time location and map interactions.</li><li>Improve performance and reliability across startup time, animations, lists, memory, battery, and crashes.</li><li>Establish reliable testing with Jest, React Native Testing Library, and Maestro.</li><li>Own production delivery with EAS, including builds, signing, releases, and app store readiness.</li><li>Contribute to backend APIs when useful and help establish engineering standards as the team grows.</li><li>Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.</li></ul><h3>About you</h3><ul><li>Several years of professional software engineering experience, including<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>at least two production React Native apps </strong>with real users.</li><li>Strong React Native, TypeScript, and Expo experience, including the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>New Architecture</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(Fabric, TurboModules, Bridgeless).</li><li>Experience with mobile performance, testing, observability, and production releases.</li><li>Hands-on experience with MapLibre, Mapbox, Google Maps, or comparable mobile mapping technologies.</li><li>Evidence of owning architecture or major technical decisions, not just implementing predefined features.</li><li>Strong engineering judgment, pragmatic problem-solving, and the ability to work independently in a small team.</li><li>University-level technical education in computer science, software engineering, or a related field.</li><li>Eligible to work in Germany and, where required, for EU/NATO security clearance.</li></ul><h3>Nice-to-haves</h3><ul><li>Node.js, Bun, or other backend experience.</li><li>Reanimated, Gesture Handler, and advanced React Native animations.</li><li>Geospatial, aviation, ADS-B, drone, or real-time location experience.</li><li>Experience with EAS/Fastlane and mobile CI/CD.</li><li>Defense, law enforcement, or other regulated-environment experience.</li><li>German language skills.</li><li>Open-source contributions to React Native or Expo.</li><li>Practical experience with AI coding agents and modern AI-assisted development.</li></ul><h3>What we offer</h3><ul><li><strong>Own the mobile architecture:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Shape a greenfield product and its technical direction.</li><li><strong>Modern stack:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>React Native, Expo, New Architecture, Reanimated, MapLibre, TanStack Query, and Zustand.</li><li><strong>High ownership:</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Work in a small team where your decisions have direct product impact.</li><li><strong>Remote-first, Germany-wide: </strong>Work from wherever you do your best work, with regular team gatherings in Berlin/Dresden 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: </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>
