By Rosa Delgado, Mogi Research · Oct 16, 2026
China added ninety percent more software engineer job postings last week, going from twenty nine to fifty five. This surge in postings may reflect increased demand for these roles in the country. It could also be due to employers in China posting more openings than they did the previous week.
In comparison, Israel saw a forty seven percent rise in software engineer job postings, from fifteen to twenty two. India also experienced growth, with job postings for software engineers increasing by thirty eight percent, from five hundred ninety seven to eight hundred twenty three.
Overall, software engineer job postings across all countries fell by fifteen percent last week. This decrease was driven by a drop from two thousand six hundred seventy one postings to three thousand one hundred fifty six postings.
