We want Orah to be a place where people can do their best work and feel comfortable being themselves. We care more about how you think, how you act, and the perspective you bring than whether you tick every box on a job description. If you believe you can make a strong contribution here but your experience doesn't line up perfectly, apply anyway. We'd love to hear from you.

Orah uses the routine processes that schools already run to keep student locations updated in real-time, for use in daily operations and emergencies--making it easier for schools to account for students & significantly reduce crisis response times.
