TikTok is considering cutting about 300 jobs at its European hub in Dublin as the company moves toward another restructuring round after a similarly sized wave of layoffs last year. The ByteDance-owned tech firm may reshape its AI data service and operations team while consolidating quality assurance work into other regional hubs, according to an email to staff reviewed by Bloomberg News.
A TikTok spokesperson said some employees at risk could be offered other roles, while the proposed changes would also create new positions. Even with those openings, the restructuring is expected to lead to an overall headcount reduction of about 300. The company said it is exploring a reorganization designed to strengthen its global trust and safety operating model, while making teams more scalable and agile.
The move could add more pressure to Dublin's tech workforce, where TikTok, Meta Platforms NASDAQ:META, and Amazon.com NASDAQ:AMZN have major European operations. TikTok had already informed the Irish government in March 2025 that it planned to cut about 300 Dublin workers, or about 10% of its local staff, according to the Irish Times. The broader backdrop is that foreign tech firms in Dublin have been reducing staff in recent years as they restructure around artificial intelligence investment, including Meta's Irish job cuts affecting 20% of its workforce.
