Portugal saw a 130 percent increase in backend engineer job postings in the last 28 days. This change represents a rise from ten postings before to twenty three postings now. This is the largest increase among countries.
France and Germany also experienced significant growth in backend engineer job postings. France added postings with a 68 percent rise, and Germany saw a 64 percent rise. These changes reflect a substantial increase in demand for these roles.
The surge in Portugal may be due to several factors. It could reflect a growing tech sector in the country, or perhaps a strategic focus by companies to expand their engineering teams there. The rise in France and Germany could indicate similar market dynamics, potentially driven by new project pipelines or a general increase in hiring for backend roles.
