In a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter submitted to state officials on Tuesday, Expedia Group disclosed its intention to terminate 58 employees based in Washington state. These job cuts, affecting the company’s Seattle Interbay campus, are set to occur between November 21 and December 1.
The positions being eliminated span technology, product, and corporate roles, including data scientists, software engineers, finance managers, and senior leadership, as detailed in the filing.
The latest round of cuts followed a broader internal reorganization at the company. Company leaders recently cited advances in artificial intelligence as a driver for streamlining operations. They also restructured product and technology teams to align with these changes.
Last month, Expedia parted ways with at least eight vice presidents and senior vice presidents in a major product and technology reorganization. An internal memo noted that AI has “radically changed what’s possible,” enabling the travel giant to shift toward smaller, faster teams.
The upcoming job cuts build on reductions from earlier in 2026. In January, the company eliminated positions across its engineering, product, and design divisions, resulting in 162 Washington state employees being laid off.
The company ended 2025 with about 16,000 employees across nearly 50 countries, with approximately one half working in technology roles. Employment had peaked above 25,000 in 2019. It fell to 14,800 during the pandemic, rebounded to 17,100 by the end of 2023, and then faced a series of restructurings and layoffs in recent years.
The cuts at the company reflect a broader, ongoing trend across Washington’s tech sector, where major employers continue to execute targeted restructurings rather than massive single-day layoffs. Over the past several months, workers have seen similar incremental reductions at Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, T-Mobile, Uber, Google, Starbucks, Qualtrics, Salesforce and elsewhere.
