The Ukrainian company Reface has increased its staff by about a quarter in a year and now has about 150 specialists, while changing its hiring priorities after previous cuts.
According to DOU, in 2025 the Reface team grew by approximately 25%. The company notes that they are now more actively expanding the marketing direction, while continuing to search for technical specialists. The plans for 2026 are to maintain or accelerate the growth rate of products and key metrics.
Reface currently has six open positions listed on DOU. The company is looking for front-end developers, a QA tester, a motion designer, AI video content specialists, and user engagement and communications managers. The team explains that marketing has become one of the key areas of scaling.
The growth comes after several waves of optimization. In 2024, Reface laid off about 35% of its team (about 60 people) due to financial difficulties. At that time, employees were paid compensation in the amount of an additional monthly salary and promised assistance with further employment. At that time, the company had about 105 employees. Earlier, in 2021, Reface also reduced its staff by 18%, reducing from 70 to 120 specialists, explaining this by the need to change the balance between specialist levels and strengthen new areas.
Reface’s portfolio includes several products at different stages of maturity. The company cited Reface, Revive for image animation, and Ink AI for tattoo generation and fitting as its most profitable apps. In parallel, the team is iterating on new projects, including BitePal, Honestly, and Reshoot, and is also experimenting with a micro-learning format in the Bit-by-bit app.
