Walmart has announced significant layoffs affecting 511 tech workers in the Bay Area, including 106 at its San Bruno office and 405 in Sunnyvale. The layoffs are part of a broader effort to streamline the company's tech teams, according to a memo from executives. More than half of those laid off in Sunnyvale held software engineering roles. The company is not closing its offices but is instead focusing on efficiency amid ongoing challenges in the tech job market and economic instability related to broader industry trends and tariffs.
In late May, Walmart filed two WARN documents revealing plans to lay off 511 tech workers across its Bay Area offices in San Bruno and Sunnyvale.
Walmart is reshaping some teams in our Global Tech and Walmart U.S. organizations where we have identified opportunities to remove layers and complexity.
The layoffs, targeting programmers, included over half of the 405 workers losing jobs at Sunnyvale, signifying a major shift in Walmart's tech workforce.
Walmart's cuts reflect broader trends in the tech industry, where companies like Meta and Microsoft are also pursuing efficiency amid economic uncertainty.
