Entry Level Infrastructure Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level infrastructure security engineer job?

Employers hiring at the entry level look for hands-on evidence of security fundamentals: home lab projects, internships, or academic coursework in network defense, firewall configuration, and vulnerability management. Certifications like CompTIA Security+ or Network+ give your application a concrete edge. Tailoring your resume to show specific tools you have used, even in a lab setting, signals readiness faster than a generic objective statement.

Which companies hire entry level infrastructure security engineers?

Companies hiring entry level infrastructure security engineers right now include OpenAI, Scale AI, and Johnson Controls, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. A mix of large enterprises, government contractors, and mid-size technology firms actively post at this level, often filling roles on rotating cohort schedules or when a junior position opens on an existing security team.

Are there remote entry level infrastructure security engineer jobs?

Yes, though fully remote roles are less common at the entry level than in more senior tiers. About 17% of entry level infrastructure security engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with hybrid arrangements being the more frequent option as teams prefer some in-person onboarding for candidates new to the field.

Are these new grad infrastructure security engineer jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior infrastructure security engineer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or co-op work as qualifying experience, or explicitly invites candidates to apply with a portfolio or academic project in place of professional history.

Which industries hire the most entry level infrastructure security engineers?

Entry Level infrastructure security engineer roles concentrate in Science & Research, Technology & Software, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate large, compliance-sensitive infrastructure environments that need dedicated security staff even at the junior level to support more experienced engineers.
