Foster your personal growth, develop your career, and make a difference in an industry where honest business practice has become optional. Every career opening at Sonic is an opportunity to join a dedicated team where each department works closely together with one another.

Join a community-minded company that empowers the growth of a better internet — one home, one business, one employee at a time.

Values

At the core of Sonic's business and culture is the willingness to stand up for what we believe in; what we think is right. That gumption was there when the company began back in 1994 and it is there today.

Customer Service
  • We’re not your typical internet service provider because we put customers, not profits, first—something rare within the industry.
  • Sonic staff are proud of being kind and knowledgeable in our interactions with customers. We solve real-world problems in real-time, without a script. No phone trees or far-off call centers. We listen, we learn, and we serve.
Privacy
  • Co-founder Scott Doty helped establish the anti-spam and privacy policies that make Sonic a leader in internet privacy.
  • Sonic's privacy policies for lawful customers have become the industry’s gold standard.
  • Sonic receives a perfect privacy score from the Electronic Frontier Foundation year after year. 
Net Neutrality
  • Sonic CEO Dane Jasper is an active industry-wide influencer with a devout following, expressing his opinions on topics such as Net Neutrality, security, and regulatory policy.
  • We don’t impose data caps because they’re artificial and contrived. We strive to offer affordable internet access, as fast as it will go.
Teamwork
  • Sonic employees are like a family. We have a strong culture of working and playing together, celebrating both our individuality as well as our shared interests.
  • We have fun because we know we do the hard work making our customers’ lives and businesses a little easier, more connected and, even in our online world, a little more human.
  • If you need help as an employee at Sonic, someone is always there to help you learn!


History

Sonic was founded in 1994, at a time when many people hadn’t yet heard the terms internet, email address or World Wide Web. Today, Sonic is the largest independent internet service provider in Northern California.

From our Fusion phone and data service to the recent roll-out of Gigabit Fiber Internet, Sonic is breaking new ground in broadband access.

The best is yet to come.

Free Internet Home Phone

High-speed internet access right to your door. We pick up the tab because you earned it.

See what people are saying about Sonic.

Consumer Reports ranks Sonic the #1 independent ISP in the nation, above Google Fiber. 

 

“With internet speeds like [Sonic’s Gigabit Fiber], not only would you never have to wait for a video to buffer again, you’d be catching up to much of the developed world – and lapping it.”

 

“Sonic is innovative and aggressive in good ways, expanding its footprint by providing excellent service at a fair price. It has (from first-hand experience) a genuine commitment to customer service.”

 

“The Santa Rosa–based company has been quietly expanding its network, and the service is incredibly fast and cheap… Sonic gets a strong grade on privacy, too, as the company deletes its user logs every two weeks.”
