By Caleb Sutherland, Mogi Research · Oct 24, 2026
Job postings in South Africa grew by seventy one percent in the last seven days. This rise saw postings go from six hundred twenty one to one thousand sixty. This is the largest growth seen in any country.
Chile also saw postings rise by sixty three percent. Colombia added job postings with a growth of sixty percent. Brazil saw postings grow by fifty five percent, the same as Nigeria.
This surge in Software Engineer postings in South Africa may be linked to new project needs. It could also reflect a shift in employer focus towards tech roles. The increase might also be due to more companies posting available positions.
