MogiDevOps Engineer Postings Rise 11 Percent
Demand for DevOps Engineers increased in the last 28 days, while Software Engineer postings saw a slight decrease.
By Felix Hartmann, Mogi Research · Oct 23, 2026
Job postings for DevOps Engineers rose eleven percent in the last 28 days, reaching one thousand eight hundred twenty-three. This increase follows a period where one thousand six hundred forty postings were observed. This change may reflect a growing need for specialized skills in managing and automating software development and IT infrastructure.
In contrast, Software Engineer job postings experienced a fall of one percent, moving from ten thousand one hundred thirty-six to ten thousand forty-five. The number of postings for Product Managers, however, saw a significant rise of twenty percent, with four thousand ninety-one postings added.
The increase in DevOps Engineer postings could be attributed to the expanding complexity of cloud environments and the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines that these professionals manage. It is also possible that companies are prioritizing roles that bridge development and operations to improve efficiency and deployment speed.
