New Relic lays off staff as it combines engineering teams

Software company New Relic laid off “less than 20 people” as part of a restructuring that combines two of its engineering teams, the company said Monday afternoon.

The San Francisco-based company, which has its engineering headquarters in downtown Portland, said it is integrating its site engineering team with its core technology platform team.

“This combined team will be responsible for continuously improving the scale and reliability of our platform,” the company said in a written statement. The layoffs were attributed to overlapping job duties and occurred across the company’s global footprint.
