Sysdig, a cybersecurity and observability platform focused on cloud-native workloads, employs roughly 470 people worldwide. Recent staffing data shows 48 new hires alongside 101 recorded departures, leaving the organisation with a leaner workforce that continues to support its container security and monitoring products. The employee base is spread across technical, commercial, and administrative roles, reflecting the company’s need to balance product development with go-to-market execution. Overall headcount levels suggest a mid-sized firm that is still refining its structure as it scales.
Engineering is Sysdig’s largest department with 207 employees—about 44 % of total headcount—underscoring the firm’s product-centric approach to cloud security. Customer-facing functions are the next biggest group, with Sales and Support accounting for 124 employees, followed by Marketing and Product at 59. Corporate services such as Finance & Administration (23) and Business Management (23) provide operational backbone, while Human Resources, IT, Operations, and Risk & Compliance collectively make up a smaller but necessary share of the workforce. This distribution indicates an emphasis on technical innovation supported by focused commercial and administrative teams.
Sysdig maintains a highly distributed workforce: approximately 304 employees are listed under “Other,” pointing to a substantial remote or geographically dispersed cohort. The largest physical hub is San Francisco with 55 employees, complemented by regional offices or clusters in Raleigh (26), Milan (26), and San Jose (15). Smaller groups are based in Zaragoza, London, Austin, Dallas, and the Greater Seattle Area, each with fewer than a dozen staff members. The combination of multiple hubs and a sizable remote contingent enables the company to tap global talent while retaining a presence in key tech markets.
