Shopee cuts jobs in Indonesia amid team relocation

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – [Date] – Southeast Asian e-commerce giant Shopee has announced job cuts in Indonesia as part of a global restructuring effort. The move comes amidst a shift in focus for the company, including a relocation of its engineering team from Jakarta to Singapore.

While the exact number of job cuts remains undisclosed, sources close to the matter have indicated that the reduction affects various departments, including engineering, marketing, and operations. The layoffs are part of a wider cost-cutting measure implemented by Shopee’s parent company, Sea Limited, in response to the challenging economic climate and increased competition.

The relocation of the engineering team to Singapore is seen as a strategic move to centralize resources and foster greater collaboration with other regional teams. This decision, however, has resulted in job losses for Indonesian engineers, who were offered relocation options but some declined due to personal circumstances.

Shopee’s Indonesian operations have been a key growth driver for the company, with the country being a major market for its e-commerce platform. The company’s decision to cut jobs in Indonesia has sparked concerns about the future of its local operations.

Analysts suggest that the move could be a sign of Shopee’s intention to prioritize profitability over growth in the Indonesian market. The company has faced increased competition from local players like Tokopedia and Bukalapak, as well as global giants like Amazon and Alibaba.

Shopee’s Indonesian employees affected by the job cuts have been offered severance packages and support in finding new employment. The company has also expressed its commitment to supporting local businesses and consumers in Indonesia, and remains committed to its long-term presence in the market.

This latest development highlights the challenges faced by e-commerce companies in Southeast Asia, as they navigate the evolving competitive landscape and economic uncertainties.
