By Marcus Bell, Mogi Research · Oct 12, 2026
Data Engineer job postings saw a fall of twenty-three percent in the past week. There were six hundred twenty-nine postings compared to eight hundred twenty-one in the prior week.
This decrease may be due to a number of factors. It could reflect a temporary slowdown in hiring for this role, or perhaps a shift in employer priorities. It is likely that the crawl captured fewer new postings for Data Engineers during this specific period.
Within Data Engineer postings, Genpact, PwC, and Accenture were among the top employers adding new roles. Virginia, California, and Texas were the states with the most Data Engineer postings.
