Employers hiring at this level typically look for candidates who have led a team project, contributed to an open-source codebase, or completed a relevant internship. Demonstrating that you can coordinate people and ship working software, even in an academic or side-project context, gives you a clear edge. Tailor your resume to show both technical skills and any experience guiding others toward a shared goal.
Which companies hire entry level software development managers?

Are these new grad software development manager jobs?
Yes, many of the listings here are new grad and junior roles that welcome recent graduates with little to no professional experience. A new grad friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience and treats internships, capstone projects, or a strong portfolio as equivalent to full-time work history. Look for postings that mention training programs or mentorship as signals of a junior-ready environment.
Which industries hire the most entry level software development managers?
Entry Level software development manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Distribution & Wholesale, and Retail, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026.
