Commercetools has laid off dozens of employees over the last few weeks , including around 10% of staff.

The “headless commerce” platform provides APIs to companies building online storefronts.

CEO Andrew Burton says the company has 25-30 open roles it’s looking to fill.

A source, who spoke to TechCrunch on condition of anonymity, said more than 70 people have been laid off.

Commercetools is restructuring a few teams, implementing targeted reductions in specific areas, and eliminating some roles.

This decision is not a reflection on individual commercetoolers, their talent, dedication, or impact, but instead a necessary step to sharpen our focus.

All impacted employees are receiving severance and continued benefits above the market standard.
