• This role is a 9-month opportunity with the possibility of extension. *

The Opportunity As far back as you can remember, you’ve always had a passion for technology. Even at a young age, you’d be the one helping your parents figure out the new phone (and new TV remote, etc…you get the picture). And the moment you first sat down at a computer; you knew it was true love. You’re passionate about supporting applications but also analyzing what’s working and what isn’t, because to you, there’s magic in making things run smoothly.

Together, we help protect the things that matter most to our more than one-million members—everything from roadside safety to retail savings, food security to childhood well-being. And with operations that span automotive, registries, travel, insurance and more, the opportunities to grow with us are almost limitless!
