Snap Inc.’s lab for making hardware, including its Spectacles video-camera glasses, cut some jobs Thursday morning after changing leadership earlier this month, according to people familiar with the matter.
Snap confirmed that Steve Horowitz, who was in charge of the lab, was moved to a role in a different part of the company. The lab’s new leader is Mark Randall, who previously worked under Horowitz. About a dozen people lost their jobs, according to a person familiar with the matter, primarily in marketing roles related to the lab. Snap, which owns the Snapchat social-media mobile application, didn’t immediately have a comment on the cuts.
