Databricks builds the Lakehouse Platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, and the company’s workforce now numbers roughly 8,200 people. Staffing records show an influx of about 1,400 new employees compared with fewer than 500 departures, pointing to ongoing expansion. The scale of the team underscores Databricks’ focus on product innovation, go-to-market execution, and customer success within the data and AI software sector.
Nearly half of all Databricks employees work in Engineering, a group of just over 4,000 people responsible for developing and operating the Lakehouse Platform. Sales and Support is the second-largest function at about 1,800 employees, reflecting the company’s emphasis on customer acquisition and retention. Marketing & Product, Information Technology, and Business Management collectively account for another 1,400 team members, while Finance, HR, Operations, and Consulting round out the remaining headcount. Attrition remains modest across functions, suggesting relative stability throughout the organization.
Databricks maintains a distributed footprint across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The largest single concentration is in San Francisco with a little more than 1,000 team members, followed by hubs in Seattle and New York. European offices such as London and Amsterdam, along with an engineering center in Bengaluru, each support several hundred employees, and emerging locations in Austin, Chicago, and Singapore add additional regional coverage. A sizeable cohort is classified under “Other” locations, highlighting a blend of smaller offices and remote workers worldwide.
