## About the Role

This role was built for working software developers ready to move into AI. If your title today is Java Developer, Software Engineer, .NET Developer, C# Developer, Python Developer, JavaScript Developer, Node.js Developer, Full Stack Developer, Backend Developer, API Developer, Application Developer, Software Consultant, or Systems Integration Engineer - you already have the foundation. We provide the AI engineering training. You don't need AI experience to apply; you need to be a solid developer who wants to become the engineer companies can't find., * 2+ years of professional experience as a software developer (full-time employment)

 * Proficiency in at least one of: Java, C#, Python, or JavaScript/Node.js. Framework experience (Spring Boot, .NET Core, Django, Express, or similar) is a plus - not a requirement
 * Experience building or consuming REST APIs
 * Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server, or similar)
 * Bachelor's degree in a technical field
 * U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a Secret security clearance
 * Willing to relocate
 * Excellent verbal and written communication skills for client-facing work
 * W2 employment through SkillStorm; not a C2C opportunity

Nice to have (we'll train the rest)

 * Consulting or client-facing delivery experience
 * Agile/Scrum delivery with Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar
 * DevOps, CI/CD, cloud platforms, web UI development, or test automation
 * Exposure to AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor) - AI experience is not required; we train you

Security clearance: your fast lane

U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a Secret security clearance are required. Already hold an active Secret or Top Secret clearance? You're exactly who we're looking for - cleared developers and transitioning veterans with software experience move to the front of the line. Don't have one yet? If you're clearance-eligible, we'll guide you through the process.

## Description

After six weeks of paid, team-based AI engineering training on real-world projects, you'll deploy to our government and enterprise clients ready to have an impact on day one:

 * Build and deploy agentic AI applications inside the client's cloud environment
 * Own delivery of a client-facing capability end to end - from problem framing through deployment and handoff
 * Work embedded with client engineers and stakeholders inside their environment, tooling, and constraints
 * Translate ambiguous business needs into scoped specifications and defensible architecture
 * Apply AI-assisted development tooling to accelerate delivery and build AI-enabled capability where it fits the client mission
 * Set patterns other engineers follow: reference implementations, coding standards, review practices
 * Brief client stakeholders on progress, tradeoffs, and risk; produce documentation that outlives the engagement
