Timescale builds and supports TimescaleDB, an open-source time-series database packaged as an extension to PostgreSQL. The company employs roughly 130 professionals, with hiring comfortably outpacing departures and yielding steady net growth. Employees span engineering, go-to-market, and corporate functions that collectively advance product development and customer adoption. The organization operates with a distributed, remote-forward model that enables access to talent across multiple regions.
Engineering is the largest group at Timescale with about 56 team members, representing a little more than two-fifths of total headcount and reflecting the company’s product-centric focus. Sales and Support forms the next largest cohort at roughly 28 employees, providing the resources needed for customer acquisition and success. Marketing and Product together account for around 16 employees, while internal enablement and governance roles—covering IT, Business Management, Finance, Operations, Human Resources, Legal, and Consulting—collectively make up the remaining share. Hiring has been most pronounced in technical and customer-facing departments, while attrition is distributed thinly across several functions.
Timescale maintains a geographically dispersed workforce. Approximately one-fifth of employees are based in New York and San Francisco, which together house about 25 staff members. Smaller concentrations of employees work from Pittsburgh, Barcelona, Düsseldorf, Boston, Seattle, Berlin, and Minneapolis. The largest single block—over half of the team—operates from various other locations worldwide, underscoring the company’s remote-friendly approach that facilitates round-the-clock support and access to a broader talent pool.
