Overview
- California filings show 318 positions in San Mateo County will be permanently eliminated effective Dec. 22, according to the state EDD.
- Washington’s WARN notice lists 101 cuts, including 23 in Seattle (Dexter Ave.), 48 in Bellevue (121st Ave.), 4 in Redmond (Willows Road), and 23 remote employees statewide.
- The reductions span technical and product roles such as software engineers, data scientists, privacy program managers, and AI researchers across Superintelligence Labs, FAIR, and product infrastructure groups.
- An internal memo from Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang frames the restructuring as a move to create smaller, more load-bearing teams and accelerate decision-making.
- Meta says affected employees can seek internal roles and the company continues selective hiring for its TBD Lab, with the filings tying these actions to a previously reported ~600-job reshaping of Superintelligence Labs.
