Full 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), or

  • At least one year of W2 experience in a technical role, or

  • Equivalent technical experience we'll review with you individually.

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. If you're not sure whether you qualify, apply — that's our call to make, not yours to rule yourself out of.

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
