Backend Engineer Postings Rise in Delaware, California, New York

Delaware saw the largest percentage increase in backend engineer job postings, with California and New York also experiencing significant growth.

By Samuel Adeyemi, Mogi Research · Oct 25, 2026

Backend Engineer job postings in Delaware surged by eight hundred percent, rising from one posting to nine. This dramatic increase may be driven by a few key employers adding roles. JPMorgan Chase posted eight new backend engineer positions in the state.

California added job postings for Backend Engineers, which rose by eighty three percent from eighteen to thirty three. New York also saw a significant rise, with postings increasing by three hundred and eighty percent from five to twenty four. These states may be experiencing this growth due to increased demand for tech talent.

In contrast, Texas saw a fall in Backend Engineer postings, down by fifty four percent from fifty two to twenty four. This shift could reflect employers reallocating resources or a temporary slowdown in hiring for this specific role in the state.
