Acorns is a financial technology company that provides automated investing and personal finance tools to millions of users. The organization employs roughly 370 people and has recently onboarded a few dozen new team members while experiencing a slightly higher number of departures, resulting in a modest contraction of total staff. Even with this ebb and flow, Acorns maintains a balanced mix of technical, product, and business roles that support its mobile-first investment platform.
Engineering is Acorns’ largest function, accounting for about two-fifths of the workforce and underscoring the company’s focus on maintaining and expanding its digital investing platform. Marketing and Product roles form the second-largest cohort, followed by Finance & Administration and Business Management, which collectively ensure operational rigor and regulatory compliance. Information Technology and Operations teams provide the infrastructure and day-to-day support needed to keep the service running smoothly. Smaller groups—including Real Estate and several specialized functions—round out the organization, giving Acorns a broad yet streamlined departmental footprint.
Acorns’ workforce is primarily U.S.-based, with more than half of employees working remotely or outside of its major hubs and thus categorized as “Other.” Among defined offices, Los Angeles hosts the largest contingent, followed by New York City and Irvine. Additional teams are situated in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Portland, and Austin, reflecting the company’s presence in several established technology and financial centers across the country. This distributed model allows the firm to tap into multiple talent markets while retaining flexibility for remote collaboration.
