Job description

Start your software career with a company whose entire business is launching them.

SkillStorm builds technology talent for Fortune 100 enterprises and U.S. government agencies. You'll spend 12 weeks in paid, hands-on training working real, team-based projects — then deploy directly to an enterprise or government client, effective day one. This isn't a course you pay for. It's a paid role with a clear path from \"qualified\" to \"deployed professional\".

We're hiring people early in their technical careers — including recent graduates, career changers with a technical foundation, and transitioning service members and veterans — who have the fundamentals and the drive, and want a structured path into enterprise software work.

Do you qualify? You likely do if you have one of the following:

• A bachelor's degree in a related technical field (Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or similar)
• 1 year+ of technical work experience

Plus a working understanding of programming fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, databases and SQL, and software development in an object-oriented language such as Java or C#.

We review every applicant who clears one of those paths individually for fit.

A strong fit also looks like:

• Solid problem-solving and logical reasoning
• Clear written and verbal communication with teammates and stakeholders
• Ability to obtain a U.S. government security clearance
• Open to relocation for client placement
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. on SkillStorm's W2 (not a C2C arrangement)

Veterans and transitioning service members: this model — structured training, a clear mission, clearance-eligible work, relocation handled — is built for the way you already operate. We actively want you in this pipeline.

What you'll do once deployed:

• Build and enhance applications using the languages, frameworks, and tools your client runs
• Write clean, efficient, well-structured code to professional standards
• Diagnose and fix defects; provide technical support and resolution
• Participate in code reviews — give and receive constructive feedback
• Translate business requirements into technical specifications with stakeholders
• Support testing and deployment to production; maintain technical documentation
• Keep current with industry tools and techniques through ongoing training

Why people choose SkillStorm:

• Competitive salary — a paid role from day one, not paid training you fund
• Enterprise-grade technology training and certifications
• Work for Fortune 100 companies and government agencies
• Health, vision, dental, and life insurance with 401(k)
• Continuous mentorship and support throughout training and placement
