Sendbird, known for its in-app chat, voice, and video API platform, employs just over 150 people worldwide. Recent staffing data shows the company added a net handful of employees, bringing on 34 new team members while 28 departed. This balanced growth suggests ongoing investment in product innovation and go-to-market capacity without significant volatility in overall headcount.
Headcount is concentrated in two core functions—Sales & Support and Engineering—each with 46 employees and accounting for roughly three tenths of the total workforce. Marketing & Product follows at 28 employees, supporting brand positioning and roadmap execution. General business functions such as Business Management (13 employees), Finance & Administration (10), and Human Resources (10) round out operational needs, while smaller teams in Quality, IT, and Consulting collectively represent fewer than 5% of staff. Company-wide hiring reached 34 people, offset by 28 departures, indicating measured expansion across multiple functions.
Sendbird maintains a distributed footprint. Its largest single concentrations are in San Francisco (31 employees) and Seoul (30), reflecting dual roots in the United States and South Korea. Smaller hubs include Singapore, Denver, New York, London, San Jose, San Mateo, and Austin, each with two to six employees. Nearly 44% of staff fall into an “Other” category, underscoring a sizable remote or widely dispersed cohort that complements the main offices. Hiring and attrition have been spread across these locations without drastically shifting the overall geographic balance.
