Software Engineer Go/C++ — Sensor Team

About On The Spot

We collaborate with startups globally to build their local engineering teams. You'll be employed by On The Spot but fully embedded in our partner’s team, working alongside their in-house engineers.

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.

‍

Cloud teams love Orca because it’s fast to deploy, easy to maintain, and built to scale with the way real infrastructure works.

About the role

We're the team building Orca Sensor – a lightweight runtime component that brings deep visibility and protection to cloud workloads running on Kubernetes, serverless engines and virtual machines.

‍

You'll work on a scalable, low-overhead system that collects and processes real-time telemetry to detect threats and anomalies across all sorts of modern cloud environments. You will assume the pivotal position of lead developer, entrusted with spearheading the creation of innovative software products.

‍

Our mission is to make cloud security smarter, faster, and easier to deploy – without the burden of traditional agents. If you enjoy solving performance and reliability challenges in modern cloud infrastructure, you’ll feel right at home here.
