Entry Level Junior Software Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level junior software developer job?

Entry level junior software developer roles typically look for candidates who can demonstrate working code, not just coursework. A GitHub portfolio with two or three completed projects, a capstone from a bootcamp, or a finished internship gives hiring managers something concrete to evaluate. Applying to companies that list internship experience as equivalent to a degree requirement, or that explicitly welcome new grads, gives you the strongest starting point.

Which companies hire entry level junior software developers?

Companies hiring entry level junior software developers right now include Medpace, Eurofins, and Collabera, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including startups building out their first engineering teams, mid-size technology companies with structured onboarding programs, and enterprise organizations with dedicated new grad cohorts.

Are there remote entry level junior software developer jobs?

Yes, though remote availability varies by employer and role type. About 5% of entry level junior software developer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates have real flexibility in where they work. Hybrid roles are common among employers who prefer in-person onboarding before moving to a remote setup.

Are these new grad junior software developer jobs?

Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles alongside other entry level openings. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or academic projects toward the requirement, or explicitly asks for a portfolio in place of professional history. If a role lists no minimum years required, it is almost always open to a new grad applicant.

Which industries hire the most entry level junior software developers?

Entry Level junior software developer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Automotive, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors hire at this level consistently because they staff growing engineering teams with junior developers who can contribute quickly under senior guidance while building toward more specialized roles.
