The case unfolds as Atlassian also announced a 1,600-person layoff to reallocate funds toward AI and enterprise sales.

Atlassian Cuts 1,600 Jobs to Accelerate AI and Enterprise Growth

Atlassian said it would cut about 1,600 jobs, roughly 10% of its workforce, to refocus on AI initiatives and enterprise growth, with about 30% of the affected roles based in Australia. The restructuring, part of a broader push into an 'AI era,' includes a minimum 16 weeks of severance, extended benefits, and prorated bonuses, while CTO Rajeev Rajan will step down. The move comes as Atlassian faces a stock decline and is costing the company $225–$236 million in restructuring expenses, driven by severance and office-space reductions.

Atlassian Cuts 1,600 Jobs to Fund AI Push, Replaces CTO

Atlassian will lay off about 1,600 employees (roughly 10% of its workforce) and replace its chief technology officer as part of a restructuring to invest more in artificial intelligence. Severance and related costs could total up to $174 million, plus at least $62 million in exit charges. Reductions hit mainly software R&D and engineering across North America, Australia and India, with the company noting the layoffs are aimed at strengthening its financial position to self-fund AI and enterprise sales. CTO Rajeev Rajan will be replaced by Taroon Mandhana and Vikram Rao; founders say AI-driven changes justify the move, even as it weighs on staff. Shares rose about 4% in after-hours trading.

"Wall Street's Top AI Stock Picks Beyond Nvidia for Maximum Upside"

Wall Street analysts believe that Amazon and Atlassian are better AI stocks to buy than Nvidia, with median price targets implying 15% and 22% upside, respectively. Amazon's strong performance in e-commerce, digital advertising, and cloud computing, along with its sensible growth strategy, make it an attractive investment. Atlassian's work management and IT service management software, coupled with its suite of AI features, position it well to capitalize on the growing demand for AI applications. Both companies are expected to see double-digit sales growth, making them compelling long-term investments.
