Backend Engineer job postings rise 49 percent in US

Postings for Backend Engineers increased by forty nine percent in the US over the last seven days.

By Ravi Iyer, Mogi Research · Oct 10, 2026

While the overall number of new job postings in the US fell by five percent to four thousand three hundred and sixty one, Backend Engineer roles saw a significant rise. The number of postings for Backend Engineers increased by forty nine percent, from sixty seven to one hundred in the last seven days. This contrasts with a general decrease in new job postings across all roles.

The surge in Backend Engineer postings may reflect increased demand for specific technical skills. It could also be that employers are actively seeking to fill these positions, leading to more job advertisements. It is likely that the crawl captured a specific employer's hiring push.

The rise in Backend Engineer postings was primarily seen in California, New York, and Delaware. JPMorgan Chase, American Express, and Coherent Corp. US posted the most jobs for this role. This suggests a concentration of demand in certain geographic areas and among specific companies.
