Job description

Launch your software career with a company built to do exactly that.

SkillStorm develops technology talent for Fortune 100 enterprises and U.S. government agencies. You'll complete 12 weeks of paid, hands-on training on real, team-based projects, then deploy directly to an enterprise or government client, effective day one. You don't pay for this. It's a paid role with a clear path from "qualified" to "deployed professional."

We're looking for people at the start of their technical careers, including recent graduates, career changers with a technical foundation, and transitioning service members and veterans, who have the fundamentals, the drive, and want a structured route into enterprise software work.

Are you eligible? You likely are if you have the following:

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

You'll also need a working grasp of programming fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, databases and SQL, and software development in an object-oriented language like Java or C#.

What a strong fit looks like:

• Sharp problem-solving and logical reasoning skills
• Clear written and verbal communication with teammates and stakeholders
• Ability to obtain a U.S. government security clearance
• Willingness to relocate for client placement
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. on SkillStorm's W2 (not a C2C arrangement)

Veterans and transitioning service members: Structured training, a clear mission, clearance-eligible work, and relocation support make this model a natural match for how you already operate. We actively want you in this pipeline.

Your work once deployed:

• Build and enhance applications with the languages, frameworks, and tools your client uses
• Write clean, efficient, well-structured code that meets professional standards
• Troubleshoot and fix defects, and provide technical support and resolution
• Take part in code reviews, giving and receiving constructive feedback
• Work with stakeholders to turn business requirements into technical specifications
• Support testing and production deployments, and maintain technical documentation
• Stay current on industry tools and techniques through ongoing training

Why candidates choose SkillStorm:

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