Junior Software Engineer
SkillStormAbout the role
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. 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
