MEET OKRA
Meet the people behind Okra.
We are proud of what we are building, but none of it would be possible without the team building it.
”That's an interesting one, and I can't say for sure. However, a couple of months before my first anniversary at Reblaze, I started to compare career paths in cybersecurity and fintech. For some reason, the thought of switching to fintech came up because, from the outside, it looked fast-paced, and I loved that. Thankfully, I was not disappointed.
”The People, the Vision, and the Culture. The people are super friendly and willing to help at every point, and everyone understands the importance of their role and how it fits into a collective in driving growth. Collaboration is super easy, and the culture makes tasking work fun and fulfilling at the same time.

A hybrid workplace
Some employees prefer to get their work done remotely, others prefer to work around team members - we make room for both!
