- Snapchat's owner Snap is hiring in the US and pays five or six figures for many jobs.

Snap, the company behind Snapchat, is still hiring in the US as its user base grows and some analysts forecast a revenue bounceback in 2024.
After laying off 500 employees, or almost 10% of its workforce, earlier this year, the tech company looks to be staffing in key areas like engineering, product, and sales. On April 12, its jobs board listed more than 142 openings, including 88 listings in US cities.
The hiring comes after a lukewarm 2023, in which Snap grew daily active users by 10% year over year but its annual revenue was flat. Some analysts predict a boost in political advertising in 2024 could help grow Snap's revenue this year.
