Software Engineer Job Postings Rise in Vietnam, Portugal, France

Job postings for software engineers saw significant increases in Vietnam, Portugal, and France over a 28 day period.

By Tomas Herrera, Mogi Research · Oct 17, 2026

Software engineer job postings increased by thirty one percent overall in the last 28 days, with new_jobs_now reaching 12195 compared to new_jobs_before at 9293. In Vietnam, postings surged by two hundred seventy nine percent, going from 14 to 53. Portugal saw a rise of two hundred sixty two percent, with postings moving from 26 to 94. France experienced an increase of one hundred eighteen percent, with postings changing from 28 to 61.

This growth in software engineer job postings may be driven by several factors. Companies could be expanding their tech teams to meet increased demand for digital services. It is also likely that there is a growing pool of talent available in these countries, attracting more companies to post roles.

For someone applying for software engineer roles this month, these figures suggest a more active job market in Vietnam, Portugal, and France. The rise in postings means there are more opportunities available than in the previous period. This could translate to a greater chance of finding a suitable position, though competition may also be higher due to the increased visibility of these roles.
