MogiNew Jersey Software Engineer Job Postings Fall
California and Ohio see significant rises in software engineer job postings, while New Jersey experiences a sharp decline.
By Patrick Doyle, Mogi Research · Oct 20, 2026
New Jersey saw a sixty-six percent fall in software engineer job postings in the last 28 days, with two hundred seventy-nine posted compared to eight hundred twenty-two previously. This decline may be a result of fewer roles being advertised by employers like JPMorgan Chase, BNY, and ASRC Federal.
In contrast, California experienced a fifty-seven percent rise in software engineer postings, adding seven hundred seventeen new roles. This surge is likely driven by increased demand for these skills in the state's tech sector.
Ohio also saw a seventy-one percent rise in software engineer postings, adding two hundred eighty new roles. Texas added eight percent more software engineer postings, with five hundred eighty-six now available.
