SquareTrade Warranty Blog

Are you a fan of the Status Quo? Neither are we.

Does your current job give you a recurring case of the Mondays?  Perhaps it's because you're longing for a more challenging, highly rewarding work environment. If so, perhaps you should come work with us!

Our engineering team just posted this new job opening on craigslist.

At SquareTrade, our focus is on empowering consumers and transforming an industry. There's a lot about the warranty business that just doesn't compute, but we do things differently around here..and people have taken notice.

But as good as we are, there's always room for improvement. That's where you come in.

If you've got the skills and want to work hard and have fun - we want to hear from you!  We know our fans are savvy and enthusiastic so don't be shy!

We're currently seeking Java Engineers eager to join our team here in our downtown San Francisco HQ.

Another SquareTrade Milestone

Wishing our own Vince Tseng, VP of Marketing, a happy 10 year anniversary at SquareTrade. Vince was employee #2 (outside of the 3 founders)! Congrats VINCE!!!

No Tricks just Treats at SquareTrade

Eep - what happened to all the birthday decorations?! Things are getting spooky here at SquareTrade HQ! OK, so it's not really spooky. Things like $100 deductibles for your cell phone insurance would be a scary thought - but you won't find any of that around here! No tricks either.
Instead, there's talk of gutting pumpkins...

Celebrating fans and newest faces at SquareTrade!

The SquareTrade party continues as we celebrate our 10th Birthday and continued growth!  

We hope you'll take a moment during our Birthday festivities to say hello to some of the newest faces to the SquareTrade Team!

Say hello to Janinne, Peter, Pete,  Raquel and Mikie...

 

These smiles are part of our Customer Satisfaction Team.

If you've recently purchased a SquareTrade  Warranty, you've likely heard from one of them.

We snuck in to take some snapshots during one of their early training sessions. They were learning about what it takes to provide our 5-star service.

It takes a lot of dedication but it's super rewarding to be part of the SquareTrade Team! We're starting a revolution, remember?
