EPAM Systems is a global software engineering and digital product development company with a workforce of roughly 40,600 professionals. Recent staffing data shows the addition of about 1,770 employees while nearly 1,890 departed, resulting in a modest net decrease in overall headcount. The movement illustrates an ongoing calibration of skills to match project demand, yet the company’s large, distributed talent model remains a cornerstone of its delivery approach.
Engineering is the largest discipline at EPAM, employing more than 27,000 people—close to two-thirds of total headcount—underscoring the firm’s core focus on technical execution. Supporting functions such as Information Technology (about 2,800 employees), Business Management (roughly 2,300), Human Resources (around 1,700), and Finance & Administration (about 1,500) create the operational backbone that enables large-scale project delivery. Program & Project Management, Sales & Support, Marketing & Product, and Operations collectively add just over 4,000 staff, while an "Other" category rounds out the remaining roles. Hiring has continued to lean toward engineering and client-facing specialties, balancing departures across various support groups.
EPAM operates through a widely distributed network of delivery centers. Ukraine hosts the largest single concentration with close to 4,900 employees in Kyiv, followed by significant hubs in India—including Hyderabad and Pune—totaling more than 3,100 professionals. Belarus, Poland, and Georgia each support sizable teams ranging from about 600 to 1,400 people, with Cracow, Warsaw, and Gdańsk forming a tri-city presence in Poland. An additional 28,600 employees are spread across numerous other locations, demonstrating the company’s commitment to a globally diversified talent footprint that can service clients in multiple regions and time zones.
