Entry Level Software Developer (Philadelphia)

SkillStorm • Philadelphia, PA • 1h ago

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
