Timescale, the company behind the open-source time-series database TimescaleDB, employs roughly 130 professionals and continues to add talent across key functions. Recent hiring outpaced departures by a margin of nearly three to one, signaling measured growth while keeping overall attrition low. The team spans engineering, go-to-market, and corporate roles that support the development and adoption of its PostgreSQL-based database products.
Engineering is Timescale’s largest group with about 56 employees, accounting for just over two-fifths of total headcount and underscoring the company’s product-centric focus. Sales and Support follows with roughly 28 employees, enabling customer acquisition and success. Marketing and Product combines for approximately 16 employees, while internal enablement functions—IT, Business Management, Finance & Administration, Human Resources, Legal, and Consulting—collectively represent a smaller yet crucial share of the organization. Recent hiring was concentrated in technical and customer-facing roles, with attrition spread thinly across multiple departments.
Timescale maintains a distributed workforce anchored by offices in New York and San Francisco, which together house about 25 employees. Additional team members are based in cities such as Pittsburgh, Boston, Seattle, Austin, Berlin, Barcelona, and Minneapolis, each hosting a handful of staff. Approximately one-fifth of employees work from various other locations, reflecting the company’s remote-friendly approach. This geographic spread provides access to a diverse talent pool while supporting customers across regions.
