Senior Technical Writer
About the team
Orca Security is a cybersecurity startup and cloud innovation leader. Founded in 2019 in Israel by former Check Point managers, it raised $630+ million and became a 'unicorn' in 2021.
Orca is delivering a modern cloud security platform built for engineers who care about visibility, context, and speed. We scan your entire cloud environment — across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and more — giving you deep insights into risks like misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and active threats. Our unified platform shows you what actually matters by prioritizing findings based on context like exposure, privilege, and potential impact.
At Orca, we believe that in the right environment and with the right team, talent has no boundaries. This team spirit, together with our drive to always aim high (because the cloud is the limit), have quickly earned us unicorn status and turned us into a global cloud security innovation leader.
