Florida-based tech unicorn Kaseya is planning to hire hundreds of employees at its new office in Orlando.
The company, which provides unified IT and security management software, recently moved to a 350,000 square foot space in the SouthPark Center on Southpark Circle in October. According to Kaseya’s Operations Director, Joe Smolarski, the company already employs 125 people in Orlando and plans to increase its local workforce to 1,000 by the end of 2024. Kaseya currently has around 5,000 employees and dozens of offices worldwide.
The company was valued at over $1 billion in 2019, making it a unicorn, a term used for privately held businesses with a valuation of $1 billion or more. Kaseya has 2,200 employees in Miami, but Smolarski said the company wants to establish another center of excellence beyond Miami in the state of Florida. Smolarski cited Orlando’s talent pool and the planned Brightline railway route from Miami to Orlando as reasons for choosing the city.
The company’s first 125 hires in Orlando took just 60 days, and Smolarski expects the pace of hiring to continue at a similar rate.
