Cohesity Plans to Hire 370 Employees

Cohesity, Inc. is expanding its employee base and office footprint in USA to meet customer demand and to continue its rapid pace of innovation.

The company is planning to hire 300 new employees by summer 2019 at its San Jose HQs, nearly doubling the employee headcount at that location. It also intends to double the size of its employee base at the company’s location in Research Triangle Park (RTP), hiring up to 70 employees in North Carolina.

In San Jose, Cohesity is recruiting new employees across all job functions and levels including marketing, human resources, operations, IT, finance, and legal. It is also focused on expanding the size of its engineering team to accelerate innovation in areas like AI and machine learning within the Cohesity DataPlatform, which is optimized for hybrid cloud architectures.

At the RTP location, the firm will hire across an array of job functions including engineering, customer support, sales, and administrative roles.

“We are planning to nearly double the size of Cohesity to 1,500 employees within a year, and while much of this growth will take place in the U.S., we will also see a significant workforce expansion in the EMEA region and in Asia – building on our partnership with SoftBank,” said Paul Whitney, chief people officer, Cohesity. “These new hires will help Cohesity continue to deliver outstanding innovation that will empower customers to protect, store, and manage their apps and data simply and efficiently while solving critical mass data fragmentation challenges.“

Expanding Cohesity’s Footprint

In order to accommodate this expanding employee base, Cohesity has agreed to lease three additional floors for its HQs at Riverpark Towers in downtown San Jose, growing from 34,000 to 99,000 square feet of office space. The expanded HQs will support more than 800 people across five floors and will include an executive briefing center, a dedicated training room, and a video studio.

At RTP, the company is relocating to Bristol Place at the Imperial Center Business Park in Durham, NC. With this move, the company will triple the size of its office footprint, moving from 8,800 square feet to more than 25,000 square feet, with space for 190 employees. This new location will also feature a new research software lab.

Cohesity is growing its employee base and expanding its real estate footprint as more and more customers across the globe transition from legacy infrastructure to Cohesity’s technology. Research shows that nearly 90% of customers globally struggle to solve mass data fragmentation challenges.

Cohesity continues to disrupt the $60 billion secondary data and apps market by empowering organizations to consolidate secondary data silos including backup, files and objects, testing and development, archiving, and analytics on a single web-scale platform.

The vendor recently announced that it has quadrupled the size of its customer base, increased revenues by 300%, and received $250 million in series D funding led by the SoftBank Vision Fund.
