By Aiko Watanabe, Mogi Research · Oct 13, 2026
New York added job postings for Backend Engineers, with an increase of one hundred sixty four percent. This change saw the number of postings rise from eleven to twenty nine.
California also saw an increase in Backend Engineer postings, rising eighty six percent from twenty one to thirty nine postings. These two states showed growth in this role.
In contrast, Texas saw a fall in Backend Engineer postings. The number of postings changed from sixty one to twenty three, a decrease of sixty two percent.
The reasons for these changes are not certain. The rise in New York and California postings may be due to employers seeking new talent for upcoming projects. The fall in Texas could reflect a shift in hiring needs or a change in the availability of candidates.
