Snap, the company behind Snapchat, is staffing up in the US to support its growing ambitions in areas like augmented reality, short-form video, and original shows.
The hiring comes during a year of high and lows for Snap. New advertisers flocked to the Gen-Z friendly platform early in the year. But its stock later plunged as supply-chain issues and advertising challenges caused by Apple's new iOS user-tracking policies tempered the company's revenue projections for its fourth quarter.
Still, Snap has continued to grow its workforce, reaching roughly 5,190 employees around the world.
