Zoom to expand in US with engineering centres in Phoenix, Pittsburgh


Zoom's current engineering workforce is mostly split between its San Jose headquarters and China. Steckelberg told Reuters the company is looking for offices near Arizona State University and Carnegie Mellon University to tap engineering talent coming out of the schools. — Reuters

Zoom Video Communications Inc said Thursday it plans to hire 500 software engineers for research and development locations in Phoenix and Pittsburgh over the next two years, expanding its engineering workforce by about 60%.

The San Jose, California-based videoconferencing company has seen a large spike in usage as families, friends and organisations use its software to connect while under lockdown orders during the global coronavirus pandemic. The company said last month it has about 300 million daily meeting participants, up from 10 million in December.
