Job Openings
Before we get to all the bulleted lists, let's talk for a minute about the company.
Life here is different. Things move quickly, things change just as quickly, and every day brings a new challenge. We like to find what works, and then find what works better.
If you're looking for the kind of place where good is good enough, look elsewhere.
Our benefits include excellent medical and dental insurance, 401K, T pass assistance, stock options, a swanky new office in Boston's South End, the freedom to wear whatever you want to work (within the limits of legality), and (because we're run by a European) a refreshingly generous approach to time off – you even get your birthday off, with pay, of course.
If your skills are a match and our vibe sounds inspiring, we'd love to hear from you. Email your resume in Word or PDF format to
jobs@sonicbids.com and
be sure to reference the appropriate job title in your note. Now, on to the nuts and bolts of our current openings, and all those bulleted lists.
