Find engineers and designers at top Media companies
The Media industry runs on the people who build it. The list above ranks the largest Media companies by current headcount, drawn from public LinkedIn and Crunchbase records. Across the 16,978 Media companies in Refolk’s 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 Media 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 “Media engineers in San Francisco hiring senior ML” or “designers at Media companies who shipped a product in 2025” and Refolk returns a fresh ranked shortlist with the sources that earned each person a spot.
