About the job

Site Reliability Engineer

Company Overview

At Orcrist Technologies, we are pioneers in developing the Orcrist Intelligence Platform (OIP), a robust and secure Kubernetes-native system designed for flexibility across cloud, on-prem, and air-gapped environments. Our dedicated Innovation team spearheads new initiatives, working independently from delivery teams to prototype and validate comprehensive solutions before they become fully-fledged products.

Role Overview

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will play a crucial role in accelerating Innovation's rapid prototyping cycles. Your responsibilities will include automating prototype environments, overseeing demo deployments, and validating platform constraints early in the development process. You will swiftly provision sandboxes, ensure prototypes are deployable, and create infrastructure handoff packages for seamless productization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Automate the provisioning and teardown of prototype environments using Kubernetes, GitOps, and Pulumi/Terraform to facilitate rapid discovery cycles.
  • Manage reliable demo deployments that showcase new initiatives while maintaining a quick iteration pace.
  • Early validation of air-gapped, on-premise, and cloud constraints to ensure prototypes are ready for adoption by productization teams.
  • Implement observability for prototypes using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, along with lightweight Service Level Objectives (SLOs) to support validation efforts.
  • Create comprehensive infrastructure handoff packages, including deployment specifications, Helm charts, and runbooks to ensure a smooth transition to productization.
  • Collaborate with the Platform team to ensure prototypes align with standards while meeting the rapid iteration demands of the Innovation team.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering or Platform engineering with practical knowledge of Kubernetes and GitOps.
  • Proven track record in rapid environment provisioning, ephemeral deployments, and infrastructure automation.
  • Comfortable validating deployability constraints (air-gapped, on-prem) early in the development process.
  • Exceptional technical writing skills, capable of producing clear deployment specifications and handoff artifacts that minimize adoption friction.
  • Eligibility to work in Germany; EU or NATO citizenship is preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficiency in the German language (B1+), experience with BSI/ISO compliance, and familiarity with supply chain security tools (e.g., Cosign, Kyverno).
  • Experience working in prototype or R&D environments, demo automation, or infrastructure handoff processes.

What We Offer

  • Access to a modern tech stack including Kubernetes, Argo CD, Terraform, Prometheus, Vault, Kyverno, GitOps, and OpenTelemetry.
  • A remote-first work environment in Germany, complemented by regular meetups in Berlin and 30 days of vacation.
  • Engagement in mission-driven projects that have a meaningful impact on public safety and defense.
  • Provision of equipment and a home office budget, along with support for professional development.
