Intern - Novice Voyager

Newbie to the rough waters of innovation

Orca Intelligence is a forward-thinking small business headquartered in Silver Spring, MD. Since 2014, we’ve been guided by executive leadership with over 30 years of experience in information technology consulting. Our mission is to operate as a state-of-the-art boutique product firm, delivering innovative artificial intelligence solutions for software development.

At Orca, we believe software design should be treated with the same rigor and discipline as architectural engineering. Our development philosophy emphasizes governance, best practices, and the strategic reuse of requirements across projects—ensuring consistency, efficiency, and quality.

This philosophy is embodied in our flagship product, Swiftly—a classical, reactive AI-powered Requirements Management tool. Swiftly streamlines the entire software development life cycle by organizing stakeholders and engineers around clear, reusable requirements. It reduces time spent on analysis and management, enabling teams to deliver incremental value, stay on schedule, and remain within budget.
