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, and career changers with a technical foundation — 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 the following:

  • A bachelor's degree
  • 2-3 years of W2 experience, preferably in a technical role

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#.

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
  • In office in Ashburn, VA
  • Legally authorized to work in the U.S. on SkillStorm's W2 (not a C2C arrangement)

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
