MogiUnimelb Software Engineer Job Postings Fall 28 Percent
The number of new software engineer job postings from employers in Australia dropped significantly in the past week.
By Felix Hartmann, Mogi Research · Oct 11, 2026
New software engineer job postings in Australia fell twenty eight percent in the last seven days. There were twenty six new postings in the most recent week, compared to thirty six postings in the week prior.
This decrease may be due to a seasonal slowdown in hiring, or it could reflect a temporary adjustment in recruitment needs by employers. It is likely that fewer companies were actively seeking to fill these roles during this specific period.
Within this period, Unimelb posted five new software engineer jobs, an increase from zero in the prior week. Cba, however, saw a decrease in postings, adding six new software engineer jobs compared to eight in the previous week, a fall of twenty five percent.
