NewsData.io · United States · Sep 27, 2026

Expedia Group has filed a Washington state WARN notice covering 58 Seattle-area layoffs, with employee exits scheduled November 21 through December 1. The cuts are concentrated in technical functions — 31 of 58 roles are technical, including 18 in data science and machine learning spanning loyalty, payments, and booking platforms — despite the company framing the move as a finance simplification. Senior departures include an SVP, VP of Finance, VP of Operations, and five directors, signaling the reorganization reaches into commercial strategy. Recruiters working in travel-tech, data science, or ML will find a fresh pool of mid-to-senior candidates with specialized skills in loyalty, payments, and AI platform development entering the market before year-end.
