Phase 1: Train. Phase 2: Deploy. Get paid for both.
SkillStorm exists to launch technology careers. We develop software talent for Fortune 100 enterprises and U.S. government agencies, and our model is simple: you join as a paid employee, complete 12 weeks of hands-on, team-based project work, and then deploy straight to an enterprise or government client, effective day one. You never pay tuition. This is a salaried role that takes you from qualified candidate to deployed professional.
Who we're looking for
This role is designed for people at the start of their technical careers who have the fundamentals and the motivation and want a structured route into enterprise software. That includes recent graduates, career changers with a technical foundation, and transitioning service members and veterans.
Eligibility:
- Education: a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or a related technical field
- Experience: at least 1 year of technical work experience
Requires working knowledge of programming fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, databases and SQL, and software development in an object-oriented language such as Java or C#.
Every applicant who meets these requirements gets an individual review for fit. Not sure you meet the bar? Apply anyway. Deciding whether you qualify is our job, so don't screen yourself out.
What sets strong candidates apart
- Sharp problem-solving and logical reasoning skills
- Clear written and verbal communication with teammates and stakeholders
- Eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance
- Willingness to relocate for a client placement
- Legal authorization to work in the U.S. as a SkillStorm W2 employee (no C2C arrangements)
A note for veterans and transitioning service members
Structured training, a defined mission, clearance-eligible work, and relocation support: this program runs the way you're already used to operating. We want you in this pipeline.
Your work at the client site
- Develop and improve applications using the client's languages, frameworks, and tools
- Produce clean, efficient, well-organized code that meets professional standards
