Data Engineer Job Postings Surge in US

Job postings for Data Engineers in the US saw a significant increase over a 28-day period.

By Samuel Adeyemi, Mogi Research · Oct 11, 2026

Job postings for Data Engineers in the US saw a surge of one hundred eleven percent over the 28 days ending October eleven, two thousand twenty six. This growth is part of a wider increase in job postings for roles, with the total number of new job postings across all roles rising sixty seven percent in the same period. Data Analysts also saw a large increase of one hundred twenty three percent, and Full Stack Engineers increased ninety four percent.

This rise in Data Engineer job postings may be driven by several factors. Employers may be increasing their focus on data infrastructure and analytics capabilities. It is likely that companies are seeking to build out teams that can manage and interpret growing datasets.

Specific employers are contributing to this growth. JPMorgan Chase added one hundred nine job postings for Data Engineers, followed by Capital One with forty eight and Booz Allen Hamilton with twenty six. Virginia saw the largest increase in these postings, with one hundred seven, followed by Texas with ninety eight and Ohio with fifty nine.
