Which software engineer position to apply with yoe of 1 in Bay Area

Hi guys, can i get a piece of advice please ? I am a software engineer in Bay Area with a MS degree and have about one year experience since graduated from a well-known company. My work includes about 70% backend and about 30% frontend (both web and mobile). I plan to look for a new position which also focuses in backend, such as: platform, backend, infrastructure. The problem is I don’t know which level I should apply for: software engineer new grad or software engineer. Normally, job description for software engineer requires 2 or 3 plus years. I dont mind to apply for new grad positions, but looks like they don’t consider me new grad any more. Last year I got onsite interview with about 10 big companies in bay area for new grad, including google, facebook. This year I barely got one interview for new grad. Please help!!!

Why only Bay Area? And if it's a well-known company why does Blind show it as "New"?

I know, but normal software engineer position require 3+ yoe. It meant i am stuck at the middle of new grad and experienced software engineer.
