Entry Level Back End Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level back end developer job?

Build a portfolio of projects that show you can design and consume APIs, work with databases, and write clean server-side code in at least one language such as Python, Java, or Node.js. Internship experience helps, but self-taught candidates who can demonstrate working projects on GitHub compete well. Tailor your resume to each posting and highlight any collaborative or open-source contributions.

Which companies hire entry level back end developers?

Companies hiring entry level back end developers right now include Rippling, CVS Health, and TikTok, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including early-stage startups looking for generalist contributors and larger technology and enterprise firms running structured junior developer programs.

Are there remote entry level back end developer jobs?

Yes, remote and hybrid options are available at the entry level, though on-site roles remain common for junior positions where teams prioritize in-person mentorship. About 32% of entry level back end developer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, so candidates who prefer flexibility have real options without limiting themselves to a single market.

Are these new grad back end developer jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship work or a portfolio in place of full-time history, and does not require senior-level credentials. Look for language like "entry level," "junior developer," or "new grad welcome" in the job description.

Which industries hire the most entry level back end developers?

Entry Level back end developer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive junior hiring because they run large-scale data pipelines, consumer-facing applications, or internal tooling that benefits from growing a developer bench rather than relying entirely on senior staff.
