Entry Level Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level security engineer job?

Start by building hands-on skills through home labs, capture-the-flag competitions, or open-source contributions, then document them in a portfolio. Certifications like CompTIA Security+ or Google Cybersecurity signal foundational knowledge to hiring managers. Internship experience, even brief, strengthens your candidacy significantly. Tailor your resume to each posting, emphasizing relevant coursework, personal projects, and any incident response or vulnerability assessment work you have completed.

Which companies hire entry level security engineers?

Companies hiring entry level security engineers right now include Allied Universal, Amazon, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Hiring at this level covers large enterprises with dedicated security operations centers, government contractors, managed security service providers, and fast-growing technology startups building out their security programs for the first time.

Are there remote entry level security engineer jobs?

Yes, though on-site roles still dominate at the entry level. About 18% of entry level security engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, giving candidates flexibility without requiring relocation. Remote roles at this stage often sit within larger security teams where mentorship and collaboration happen through structured virtual channels.

Are these new grad security engineer jobs?

Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior security engineer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects in place of full-time history, or explicitly invites candidates with a strong portfolio. Look for language like "entry level," "junior," or "0 to 2 years" to identify roles suited to someone starting out.

Which industries hire the most entry level security engineers?

Entry Level security engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they manage large volumes of sensitive data, face strict compliance requirements, or are expanding their security programs and need junior engineers to support growing teams.
