The layoffs on Saturday night impacted product managers,
data scientists, and engineers who worked on machine learning and site
reliability, which helps keep Twitter's various features online, the NYT report
said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
The company has a headcount of about 2,300 active employees,
according to Elon Musk last month.
The latest job cuts follow a mass layoff in early November,
when Twitter laid off about 3,700 employees in a cost-cutting measure by Musk,
who had acquired the company for $44 billion.
Musk said in November that the service was experiencing a
"massive drop in revenue" as advertisers pulled spending amid
concerns about content moderation.
Twitter recently started sharing revenue from advertisements
with some of its content creators.
Earlier in the day, The Information reported that the social
media platform laid off dozens of employees on Saturday, aiming to offset a
plunge in revenue.
Earlier this month, Twitter closed two of its three offices
in India after the company had fired more than 90 percent of just over 200 of
its staff in India last year.
The social media company reportedly shut down offices in New
Delhi and Mumbai but continued to operate its office in the southern tech hub
of Bengaluru which mostly houses engineers. -Reuters
