Location: Madrid, Oslo, Berlin, Remoto
About Orca
The oceans are dynamic. Our mission is to craft maps that represent the ever-evolving oceans; accessing, aggregating, and adapting anonymous data from millions of sensors and boats in real-time to build the most representative marine cartography.
In order to collect this vast amount of data, we are building revolutionary navigation devices, aka Chartploters. These chartplotters collect marine data as boaters use them. We use this data to make the products better and our customers safer.
Data is deeply embedded in the product and engineering culture at Orca. We rely on data – lots of it – to improve nautical cartography, to optimise how people navigate, to proactively detect errors, and to build the first global organic marine data set for boaters, the scientist community, researches and public authorities.
We’re changing how people navigate the waters. We are Orca, the makers of the organic cartography.
