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

Focus on building hands-on experience through internships, capstone projects, or personal test automation work you can show on GitHub. Employers hiring at this level look for familiarity with tools like Selenium, JIRA, or Postman, a basic understanding of the software development lifecycle, and the ability to write clear bug reports. Certifications such as ISTQB Foundation can help a new grad stand out.

At this level, you will find openings at a mix of large technology companies, financial services firms, healthcare technology providers, and mid-size software product companies that run dedicated QA teams.

Are there remote entry level software quality engineer jobs?

Yes, though many entry level roles still prefer on-site or hybrid arrangements to support onboarding. About 50% of entry level software quality engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates who need location flexibility will find options, particularly at larger technology employers and software-as-a-service companies.

Are these new grad software quality engineer jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior software quality engineer roles. A posting is typically new grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op work toward that requirement, or explicitly accepts a strong portfolio in place of full-time work history. Look for phrases like 'entry level,' 'new grad,' or 'junior QA' in the job description.

Which industries hire the most entry level software quality engineers?

Entry Level software quality engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Construction & Real Estate, and Retail, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.
