Geospatial Web Frontend Engineer (2D/3D)

Remote / Berlin

Tech Lead

Company

Orcrist builds the Orcrist Intelligence Platform (OIP), a secure, Kubernetes-native product enabling geospatial intelligence across defense, law‑enforcement, and enterprise missions. Deployments run in SaaS and self‑hosted/on‑prem (air‑gapped) environments.

Role

Create high-performance 3D geospatial experiences using CesiumJS, deck.gl, and WebGL. You’ll visualize terrain, imagery, sensor footprints, and time‑based mission data for operators and analysts.

What you'll do

• Implement CesiumJS, Maplibre and Deck.gl components for terrain, vector overlays, point clouds, photogrammetry, and volumetric data - in a typescript/react environment
• Develop visualization tooling for sensor footprints, tracks, geofencing, geocoding and temporal playback.
• Develop layer management systems for vector and raster data visualisation
• Optimize rendering performance (GPU profiling, instancing, level-of-detail, culling, worker offloading).
• Integrate data streams from PostGIS/geoprocessing services and ensure synchronization with 2D map experiences.
• Build offline/air‑gapped visualization workflows including asset packaging and integrity validation.
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers on interaction patterns, accessibility, and mission readiness.
• Add telemetry, testing, and documentation; support on‑call rotations for visualization services.

About you

• 5+ years frontend and 2D3D engineering with geospatial or simulation-focused products
• Shipped 3D visualization features with demanding performance and accuracy requirements
• Collaborated with data engineers and designers on complex geospatial UX
• Operated in regulated or mission-critical environments (defense, aerospace, mapping)

Nice‑to‑haves

• German languageB1+) and knowledge of MIL‑STD‑2525 symbology or NATO overlays
• Experience with GPU compute (WebGPU, CUDA) or 3D analytics (Cesium Analytics, AGI STK)
• Background in remote sensing, photogrammetry, or LiDAR visualization
• Contributions to open‑source visualization libraries

What we offer

• Build state‑of-the-art 2D/3D intelligence experiences used by stakeholders
• Remote‑first Germany with equipment budget, learning stipend, and mission impact
• Collaboration with geospatial experts, data engineers, and forward‑deployed teams
