SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - One high-level staffer said he has left Twitter Inc's engineering department and a source said another is leaving too, the latest in a string of organizational changes at the social networking company.

Jeremy Gordon, a vice president of engineering at Twitter, announced on Wednesday in a tweet that he was leaving the company after two years without providing details about the reasons for his departure.

Adam Kinney, head of Twitter's analytics group, is also leaving, according a person familiar with the matter. News of both departures were first reported by CNBC on Wednesday.

Shares of Twitter were off 1.6 percent at $41.41 in extended trading on Wednesday.

The social networking company has experienced several high-profile departures in recent months, including former Chief Operating Officer Ali Rowghani and head of Twitter news efforts Vivian Schiller.

On Monday Twitter reported a disappointing update to a closely watched measure of user engagement on its service, even though the company's total number of monthly users increased by 23 percent to 284 million in the third quarter.
