Splunk, the software provider behind the Data-to-Everything platform, employs roughly 6,700 people worldwide. Recent staffing activity shows 686 hires and 633 departures, keeping overall headcount broadly stable while allowing the organisation to refresh skills in strategic areas. The workforce mix supports Splunk’s focus on security, observability, and analytics solutions.
Sales & Support and Engineering are Splunk’s two largest functions, with about 2,300 employees each—together accounting for close to two-thirds of total headcount. Marketing & Product adds roughly 630 team members, while Business Management, Finance & Administration, and Information Technology collectively contribute another 880 employees. Human Resources, Operations, Legal, and a small "Other" category round out the roster, and hiring activity has generally offset departures across most groups.
Splunk operates a distributed model anchored in the San Francisco Bay Area, where San Francisco and nearby San Jose host nearly 1,000 employees combined. Additional U.S. hubs include Dallas (around 270 employees), Washington DC (about 250), Seattle (nearly 200), Denver, New York, and Austin. Internationally, London supports roughly 70 staff, and Hyderabad represents Splunk’s footprint in India. A further 470 employees work remotely or from regional offices, underscoring the company’s flexible approach to talent placement.
