Your next role,
picked with care.

We match senior engineers to engagements that actually use what you know. W-2 employment, real benefits, and a recruiter who has read your resume — not just keyword-scanned it.

Who we work with

Two paths into Penna.

Path A

Senior Consultants & Engineers

5+ years of relevant production experience. You've shipped code at real scale, owned outcomes, and you want a partner who'll bring you roles that actually use your expertise.

What we look for
  • 5+ years production experience in your stack
  • Track record of ownership, not just task completion
  • Comfortable in client-facing engagements
  • References we can actually call
Path B

New Graduates on OPT / CPT

Strong CS, IS, or engineering background from an accredited US program. You're on OPT or CPT and looking for an employer who'll back you for the long term — including STEM extensions when applicable.

What we look for
  • US Master's or Bachelor's in CS / IS / EE
  • Valid OPT or CPT work authorization
  • Internship or project portfolio that shows real shipping
  • Coachable. Eager. Honest about gaps.
Why Penna

What's different here.

W-2

Real employment

Direct W-2 with Penna. Payroll on time. Withholding handled. Year-end W-2 in your inbox by January.

Bench

Paid between engagements

For H1-B consultants, bench time is paid in compliance with DOL. No "out-of-status" surprises.

Health

Benefits roadmap

Health, dental, vision, 401(k) on a clearly-published roadmap as we scale. No vague promises.

Visa

Immigration support

STEM OPT extensions supported. H1-B transfers handled with vetted immigration counsel.

Standards

What we won't do.

A list of things you should never accept from a consulting employer. We don't do any of them.

  • ✕
    No unpaid bench time for H1-B consultants.

    If you're on H1-B, you're paid your full LCA wage every pay period — between projects, during transitions, no exceptions. That's the law and it's our standard.

  • ✕
    No hidden margin or rate manipulation.

    You'll know the bill rate, your pay rate, and the margin in between. No surprise deductions for "training" or "marketing."

  • ✕
    No charging candidates for H1-B fees.

    USCIS filing fees, attorney fees, and ACWIA fees are Penna's cost — not yours. That's the rule.

  • ✕
    No forced restrictive covenants.

    No "buy out your contract" trap. If a role is wrong for you, we help you exit cleanly.
