Equinix is a global digital-infrastructure company with a workforce of about 5,100 employees. Over the most recent reporting period the company added more than 300 new hires while about 500 employees departed, resulting in a modest reduction in overall headcount. Continued hiring activity alongside departures suggests active workforce realignment as the business evolves. The organization spans data-center operations, interconnection services, and cloud-adjacent solutions for enterprises and service providers.
Engineering is Equinix’s largest team at roughly 1,364 employees, accounting for just over one-quarter of total headcount and underscoring the technical focus of its platform. Sales and Support follows closely with about 1,118 employees, reflecting the importance of customer acquisition and service delivery. Other sizable groups include Marketing & Product (471), Finance & Administration (438), Operations (436), and Information Technology (389), each representing between 7 % and 9 % of the overall workforce. Smaller yet essential functions such as Business Management and Human Resources round out the organization, while a miscellaneous ‘Other’ category houses 310 employees across various specialized roles.
Equinix maintains a geographically diverse employee base. Roughly three-quarters of staff are distributed across numerous global sites labeled as “Other,” indicating a widespread footprint beyond its largest named hubs. Among identifiable locations, San Francisco hosts the biggest concentration at 359 employees, with notable presences in San Jose, Dallas, Tampa, New York, Singapore, Ashburn, Warsaw, and Washington, D.C. The mix of U.S. tech centers, major interconnection markets, and international offices aligns with Equinix’s data-center portfolio and customer reach.
