Entry Level Java Software Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level java software engineer job?

Build a portfolio of Java projects on GitHub, including at least one that demonstrates object-oriented design, data structures, or a REST API. Employers at this level prioritize hands-on code over credentials, so internship work, bootcamp capstones, and personal projects all count. Tailor your resume to each posting by matching the Java frameworks and tools listed in the job description.

Which companies hire entry level java software engineers?

Companies hiring entry level java software engineers right now include Capgemini, Capital One, and Teza Technologies, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. The hiring mix tends to cover large tech firms, financial services companies, and enterprise software vendors, all of which run structured onboarding programs suited to candidates stepping into their first professional role.

Are there remote entry level java software engineer jobs?

Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles still make up a significant share of the market. About 36% of entry level java software engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates who can commute to an office will find a wider set of options than those who need fully remote work at this stage.

Are these new grad java software engineer jobs?

Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior java software engineer roles. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and counts internships, academic projects, or a strong portfolio in lieu of full-time work history. Look for language like "0 to 2 years," "new grad welcome," or "junior" in the job description to confirm the role is open to candidates just entering the field.

Which industries hire the most entry level java software engineers?

Entry Level java software engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they run large application codebases that require junior developers to maintain, extend, and test Java services alongside more experienced engineers.
