MogiNew York Software Engineer Job Postings Rise 47%
California and Ohio also saw significant increases in software engineer job postings, while New Jersey experienced a sharp decline.
By Felix Hartmann, Mogi Research · Oct 19, 2026
Software engineer job postings in New York increased by forty seven percent over the last twenty eight days, with three hundred eighteen new postings added. This rise may be attributed to increased hiring activity from financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase, which posted eighty two jobs, or potentially new project developments. It is also possible that the crawl captured a larger volume of postings compared to the previous period.
In California, software engineer job postings saw a surge of fifty eight percent, with seven hundred three new positions added. Texas also experienced growth, with sixteen percent more software engineer job postings, totaling six hundred twenty two. Ohio's software engineer job postings also rose by fifty eight percent, reaching three hundred five.
Conversely, New Jersey saw a plunge of fifty four percent in software engineer job postings, with three hundred fifty four new positions added in the last twenty eight days. This significant fall could reflect a seasonal slowdown in hiring or a shift in recruitment strategies within the state. The data does not specify the reasons for these changes.
