Wish is a global mobile-commerce platform that currently employs about 240 people. Recent staffing activity shows a modest three new hires compared with 40 recorded departures, resulting in a slimmer but still multi-disciplinary workforce. Engineering talent makes up the largest share of employees, reflecting the company’s technology-driven business model. Overall, Wish maintains a compact team that supports its marketplace operations, product development, and corporate functions.
Engineering is Wish’s largest department with roughly 85 employees, accounting for just over a third of total headcount. Marketing & Product follows with 42 employees, while Finance & Administration and Information Technology each have 23 employees, underscoring the need for both fiscal oversight and robust internal systems. Business Management (21) and Sales & Support (17) round out the client-facing and strategic groups, complemented by smaller but essential teams in Human Resources, Operations, and Risk, Safety & Compliance. The recent hiring data indicates limited expansion—only three net additions—suggesting the company is focused on optimizing existing departmental resources rather than broad-based growth.
Wish’s workforce is widely distributed, with nearly one-third of employees (75) based in San Francisco, the company’s primary U.S. hub. Another 49 percent of staff fall under the “Other” category, pointing to a substantial remote or globally dispersed contingent. Secondary offices include Shanghai (10 employees) and Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and Canadian locations such as Seattle, Chicago, and Toronto, each hosting fewer than 10 employees. This distributed model enables Wish to tap into varied talent pools while retaining a strong presence in Northern California’s technology ecosystem.
