Layoff history
On June 2, 2026, GitLab cut roughly 350 jobs, about 14% of its workforce, in a restructuring the DevOps software company had flagged a month earlier. The maker of source-code and CI/CD tools said the move would remove layers of management across parts of the business and rework its research-and-development teams as it rebuilds around an AI-driven product strategy. Severance, termination benefits and retention costs were expected to run $30 million to $35 million. The reduction ranks among the larger 2026 layoffs at publicly traded developer-tooling companies. It lands while GitLab, like rivals racing to embed AI coding assistants, concentrates engineering resources on its AI roadmap.
