Amazon Cuts 57 Roles Across Washington State Including Engineers and Senior Managers

Amazon carried out a round of workforce reductions affecting 57 roles across multiple teams in Washington state, per a WARN filing. The affected employees included software engineers (16 specifically noted), product managers, creative marketing staff, directors and senior managers, and nine remote employees such as investigation specialists and risk managers; cuts spanned several business units rather than a single org. Employees based in Seattle, Bellevue and remote locations were informed in May and early June with employment expected to end in August, and Amazon said organizational changes across several businesses prompted the WARN notice. The filing met Washington's threshold (more than 50 employees) because combined reductions across units exceeded the requirement, and the action follows earlier, larger rounds of layoffs at Amazon over the past year.

Amazon.com, Inc. cut 57 jobs in WA affecting its technical, management and business functions (including software engineering, product management, marketing, risk/investigation) team as of May 1, 2026.
