By Felix Hartmann, Mogi Research · Oct 28, 2026
Software Engineer job postings saw a surge in South Africa, rising seventy two percent. This follows a period where postings increased from eighteen to thirty one. This change may be due to increased demand for tech talent or a seasonal uptick in hiring.
France also experienced significant growth, with software engineer job postings up sixty one percent. Postings went from thirty eight to sixty one in the same period. This rise could reflect new project investments or a growing tech sector in the country.
Spain saw its software engineer job postings increase fifty six percent, moving from fifty four to eighty four. This growth might be attributed to companies expanding their development teams or a general increase in available tech roles. Other countries like Colombia and Czechia also saw postings rise by more than fifty percent.
