8x8 employs roughly 1,225 people worldwide, supporting its unified-communications and contact-center products. Recent staffing reports show 110 hires and 125 departures, resulting in a stable overall headcount and suggesting a focus on role replacement rather than rapid expansion. This balanced approach allows the company to sustain key capabilities while adjusting to market demand.
Sales and Support is the largest function with about 434 employees, reflecting the resources required to serve a global customer base. Engineering follows at roughly 306 team members who build and maintain the voice, video, and chat platform. Marketing & Product, Finance & Administration, Operations, and Business Management collectively account for more than 450 staff, creating a well-rounded go-to-market and back-office structure. Smaller groups in Quality, HR, IT, and other specialized areas round out the roster, while 110 net new hires were distributed across teams to backfill and reinforce critical skills.
The workforce is split between physical hubs and a sizable remote contingent. Approximately 824 employees fall under the “Other” category, indicating a large distributed or unlisted population. In the United States, about 114 employees work in San Jose and 86 in the wider San Francisco Bay Area, with additional clusters in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Minneapolis. International talent centers include London, Cluj-Napoca, Metro Manila, and Singapore, underscoring 8x8’s strategy of combining West Coast roots with strategically placed global offices.
