MogiSoftware Engineer Job Postings Edge Up in North Carolina
North Carolina saw a small rise in software engineer job postings, while overall US postings fell.
By Daniel Okafor, Mogi Research · Oct 14, 2026
Software engineer job postings in North Carolina rose by five percent in the week ending October 14, with twenty three postings recorded. This followed a period where twenty two postings were added. The total number of software engineer job postings across all US states fell by fifty seven percent in the same period, from one thousand four hundred and forty two to six hundred and twenty seven.
The change in North Carolina is a small one, and the base of postings is also small. A change of just one posting would represent a significant percentage shift. For instance, if only twenty two postings had been added in the latest week, the growth would have been zero percent. Likewise, if twenty one postings had been added before, the growth would have been nine percent.
Massachusetts saw a seven percent fall in software engineer job postings, from twenty nine to twenty seven. Colorado recorded no change, with twenty six postings both before and after the measurement period. These figures are based on a crawl of job postings.
In North Carolina, top employers posting software engineer roles included Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Wells Fargo, and American Express. The reasons for the small rise in postings in North Carolina are not specified, but may include seasonal hiring patterns or specific company needs.
