Riot Platforms is a publicly traded digital infrastructure company focused on Bitcoin mining and related technologies. The organization employs approximately 100 professionals and has recorded more than two dozen new hires alongside under twenty departures, signaling purposeful but measured staffing adjustments. The majority of team members support large-scale mining operations and corporate functions that keep the firm’s facilities and financial reporting running smoothly.
Engineering is Riot Platforms’ largest department with just over 20 employees, underscoring the technical expertise required to design and maintain high-performance mining hardware. Finance and Administration (≈17 employees) and Operations (≈16 employees) form the next-largest groups, reflecting the importance of capital management and day-to-day site oversight for a publicly listed miner. Business Management, IT, Human Resources, Risk & Compliance, Legal, and Sales & Support collectively account for the balance of the workforce, each ranging from five to fifteen team members. Overall, the staffing mix shows an emphasis on technical, financial, and operational skill sets rather than large customer-facing teams.
Riot Platforms maintains a distributed footprint across Texas and Colorado, with additional personnel in other areas. Austin hosts the largest single concentration at roughly 14 employees, followed by Rockdale and Corsicana—locations known for sizable mining facilities. Smaller clusters are situated in Houston, Dallas, Denver, Littleton, Castle Rock, and College Station, while just over half of the workforce operates from various other locales. This dispersion supports around-the-clock facility management while tapping into regional talent pools experienced in energy, engineering, and data-center operations.
