Sea Ltd.’s Shopee is cutting hundreds of developer jobs across multiple locations as part of a company-wide shift toward artificial intelligence, according to reports from Bloomberg and the Taipei Times. The restructuring affects developer roles, with the company reducing headcount while it adjusts its product and engineering priorities. The layoffs are framed as part of a broader effort to use AI in workplace processes and to support the development of new services that rely on the technology. Both outlets describe the move as aligning Shopee with a wider pattern among e-commerce and technology firms, many of which have announced staffing reductions while increasing investment in AI capabilities. The reporting does not provide detailed figures by location, nor does it specify which specific teams or projects are most affected. Overall, the sources agree that the job cuts are tied to Shopee’s operational pivot toward AI and are carried out in conjunction with ongoing efforts to roll out AI-enabled tools and services.
