MogiDelaware Backend Engineer Job Postings Surge 350 Percent

By Clara Whitfield, Mogi Research · Oct 19, 2026
Delaware saw the largest increase in backend engineer job postings over the last 28 days, with a surge of three hundred fifty percent. Postings rose from two to nine.
California added job postings for backend engineers, rising one hundred sixty five percent from seventeen to forty five. New York also saw a substantial rise, with postings increasing four hundred percent from six to thirty.
These increases may be driven by several factors. Delaware's growth could be linked to specific hiring initiatives by major employers like JPMorgan Chase, which posted eight backend engineer roles. Increased demand for tech talent in New York and California may also be contributing to the rise in backend engineer postings.
