By Noor Haddad, Mogi Research · Oct 12, 2026

This data cannot tell us about hiring decisions or the overall health of the tech industry, nor can it explain the specific reasons behind the changes in job postings.

Over the last 28 days, New York saw a one hundred percent rise in backend engineer job postings, with postings going from ten to twenty. California backend engineer postings edged up seventeen percent, from twenty three to twenty seven. Texas backend engineer postings fell forty two percent, from fifty nine to thirty four.

The rise in New York postings may be due to increased demand for specific skills or new projects starting. The fall in Texas could reflect a shift in hiring priorities or a saturation of the market in that state. It is also possible that employers are adjusting their recruitment strategies in response to evolving market conditions.
