Entry Level Software Engineering Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level software engineering manager job?

Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate leadership potential, even without years of formal management experience. Internship work where you coordinated a small team, a portfolio showing technical depth, or coursework in project management all give you an edge. Highlight any experience where you took ownership of a deliverable or mentored a peer, and tailor your resume to the specific team size and tech stack in each posting.

Which companies hire entry level software engineering managers?

Companies hiring entry level software engineering managers right now include Apple, Google, and The University of Texas at Austin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from fast-growing startups building out their first engineering org, mid-size tech companies backfilling promoted managers, and large enterprises with structured new-grad leadership programs.

Are there remote entry level software engineering manager jobs?

Yes, though on-site and hybrid postings still make up a significant share of openings at this level. About 21% of entry level software engineering manager openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates who can relocate or commute will see a wider field of options while fully remote roles remain available.

Are these new grad software engineering manager jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior software engineering manager roles. A posting is generally new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or academic project leadership toward the requirement, or explicitly accepts a strong portfolio in place of prior management titles. Look for language like 'early career' or 'associate manager' as additional signals.

Which industries hire the most entry level software engineering managers?

Entry Level software engineering manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors tend to drive entry level management hiring because they scale engineering teams quickly and often promote or hire junior managers to handle team coordination as headcount grows.
