How much do entry level programmer jobs pay per hour?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an entry level programmer, and why are they important?
What types of projects and tasks can an entry level programmer typically expect to work on during their first year?
What is the difference between Entry Level Programmer vs Software Developer?
| Aspect | Entry Level Programmer | Software Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Associate's degree or coding bootcamp certification | Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field often preferred |
| Work Environment | Entry-level coding tasks, supervised projects | Design, develop, and maintain software applications |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Tech companies, startups, IT departments | Software firms, tech companies, enterprise IT teams |
While both roles involve coding and software development, an Entry Level Programmer typically focuses on basic coding tasks under supervision, whereas a Software Developer often handles full project cycles, including design and testing. The roles overlap in skills and industry usage, but the Software Developer position generally requires more experience and responsibility.
What is an entry level programmer?
As an entry-level programmer, you use software programming languages to create and maintain applications for in-house, proprietary use or clients. You go through an onboarding process to learn your company’s code base and their processes for software development. You work on a team with other programmers and developers, and your job duties include writing code to develop software according to required specifications, testing and debugging code, creating and rolling out fixes, and publishing finished code to the production server. As you gain experience and your skillset expands, you can take on jobs with more autonomy and responsibility.

KPFF Portland Structural is looking for Entry-Level Structural Engineers who are motivated and have a desire for growth.
KPFF is about freedom to work on what inspires you. Our engineers work on a diverse spectrum of projects in locations around the globe: from mass timber buildings to complex, non-linear analysis of high rise structures. We have all the benefits of a large, stable company but operate day-to-day with the flexibility of a small firm. Providing first-class service to our clients is what we are all about.
We are a group of dedicated, friendly and hard-working engineers looking for exceptional engineers to join us. At KPFF you will be trusted to work individually and collaboratively in the design and construction process with talented engineers, BIM/CAD technicians, architects, project managers, contractors, support staff, and client teams for a wide array of intriguing projects.
Our current projects include:
- Airports
- Arenas + Stadiums
- Long-Span Structures
- Bridges
- Government Facilities
- Commercial Developments
- High-Rise Structures
- Mixed-Use Developments
- Corporate Campuses
- Healthcare + Medical Facilities
- Education Facilities (K-12 & Higher Ed)
- Museum + Convention Centers
In addition to being creative, proactive and detail-oriented, the preferred candidate will have:
- BS in Civil Engineering, Structural emphasis (required)
- MS or MEng Degree with Structural emphasis (preferred)
- Strong technical skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
Candidates with an undergraduate degree may pursue a master's degree and receive full tuition reimbursement. KPFF offers a flexible work schedule while pursuing your master's degree.
Physical Demands and Work Environment
- Ability to sit or stand for extended periods while working on a computer, reviewing plans, or conducting site visits.
- Capacity to move around project sites, climb ladders, and navigate uneven terrain.
- Occasionally lifting up to 15 pounds of equipment or materials.
Culture and Benefits
At KPFF, we offer a rewarding career path that emphasizes autonomy, innovation, and professional development. Our culture prioritizes employee ownership, teamwork, and shared values, creating an environment where contributions are celebrated, and career growth is encouraged. We support local collaboration with A/E/C firms and are committed to creating lasting relationships with our clients. We aren't just colleagues; we're a community that has been dedicated to collaborative innovation over the last five decades, providing you the platform to make a lasting impact on meaningful projects. KPFF Consulting Engineers offers a competitive salary and benefits package.

- Medical Plan Options: Choice of Traditional PPO or HDHP with HSA, covering health care needs and prescriptions.
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA): Tax-advantaged accounts for healthcare and dependent care expenses.
- Dental & Vision: Full preventive care, plus coverage for major dental services and vision allowances.
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Free, confidential support for personal, family, and work challenges.
- Life & AD&D Insurance: Company-provided life insurance equal to one year's salary, plus AD&D.
- 401(k) Retirement Plan: KPFF contributes 3% of salary, with no match needed.
- Disability Insurance: Short-term and long-term coverage at 60% income, fully covered by KPFF.
- Paid Time Off: Generous PTO, two floating holidays, and paid company holidays.
- Paid Family Leave: Six weeks at 60% pay, with options to use PTO for full income. Compliant with Paid Leave Oregon policies.
- Transportation: 50% subsidized TriMet/CTRAN passes and free bike parking for all employees.
- Additional Perks: Located in downtown Portland, we are in close proximity to Midtown Beer Garden's food carts, the Tom McCall Waterfront Park, and Pioneer Courthouse Square, and are centered on Portland's Transit Mall. We provide free membership to the on-site gym and its fitness classes, a wide variety of complimentary snacks (including on-tap cold brew and kombucha), access to an employee lounge with ping-pong table and TVs, and more.
