Torq
AI-driven security hyperautomation platform (AI SOC): no-code security workflows, autonomous SOC orchestration, and AI triage agents. Founded 2020, Tel Aviv. ~382 staff. Series D at $1.2B (unicorn).
What is Torq?
Torq is a cybersecurity company that builds an AI-driven security hyperautomation platform, aimed at modernizing the security operations center (the "AI SOC"). Security teams are overwhelmed by alerts and by having to stitch together dozens of tools; Torq lets them automate the work of detecting, triaging, investigating, and responding to threats. Its products include Torq Hyperautomation for building no-code and low-code security workflows, Torq HyperSOC for orchestrating autonomous security operations, and a set of AI agents that assist with alert triage and case management, all connecting across an organization's existing security stack so events can be remediated quickly and consistently. Torq was founded in 2020 by Ofer Smadari (CEO), Leonid Belkind (CTO), and Eldad Livni (Chief Innovation Officer), the same team that had built and sold Luminate Security to Symantec in 2019. It is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with US operations, and employs roughly 382 people. Torq raised a $140 million Series D in 2026 at a $1.2 billion valuation, becoming a unicorn, on around $332 million total, and counts large enterprises such as PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, and Wiz among its customers.
Mission & values
Free security teams from manual, repetitive work by automating the entire security operations lifecycle with AI-driven hyperautomation.
Qualifications
Torq hires across the functions of a fast-growing cybersecurity company. On the technical side: software engineering (backend, frontend, full-stack, data, and the AI/ML that powers its agents), security research and detection engineering, cloud and platform, and product management and design. Because its customers are security teams, it also hires deeply technical customer-facing roles: security/solutions engineering, technical account management, customer success, and support, plus a security-savvy go-to-market team (sales, sales engineering, partnerships) and marketing, finance, legal, and people. Application flow lives at torq.io/company (careers). The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv with US operations, so it hires primarily in Israel and the United States; some roles are remote or hybrid and others are tied to an office, and work authorization depends on the country, so check each posting. Experience in cybersecurity (SOC, SOAR, detection and response, or security automation), or strong engineering for technical roles, is a strong signal.
