Find engineers and designers at top Edtech companies

The Edtech industry runs on the people who build it. The list above ranks the largest Edtech companies by current headcount, drawn from public LinkedIn and Crunchbase records. Across the 51,018 Edtechcompanies in our index, you’ll find software engineers, ML researchers, designers, founders, and recruiters worth talking to — whether you’re hiring, investing, or doing market research.

Each company on the list is a hub of talent. The biggest Edtech companies tend to attract specialised engineers, while younger ones run on small founding teams and hire generalists. Looking at headcount, last funding round, and HQ location side by side gives you a quick read on where the talent density is highest.

Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for “Edtechengineers in San Francisco hiring senior ML” or “designers at Edtechcompanies who shipped a product in 2025” and Refolk returns a fresh ranked shortlist with the sources that earned each person a spot.
