At Thumbtack, we blend the flexibility of virtual work with the best of in-person connection. Our virtual-first, not virtual-only model is more equitable and effective.
Welcome to the Thumbtack way of working — intentionally designed with you in mind.
We know great talent exists everywhere. Which is why we empower our teammates to work where they live. At Thumbtack, you can grow your career from the United States, Ontario & British Columbia or anywhere in the Philippines.
In-person connections matter. Come together to deepen relationships and build community. Meet your teammates face-to-face at local gatherings and regular offsite events.
Virtual-first enables us to hire teammates from diverse backgrounds and geographies. With all teamwork happening virtually, every voice has equal strength — regardless of location.
Virtual work at Thumbtack means set Collaboration Hours for Zoom meetings, weekly focus time on No Meeting Wednesdays, and Google Docs and tools for asynchronous collaboration across teams.
We believe that gathering in-person deepens our relationships and helps build community. That's why we host regular gatherings — and you're invited! We've got a little something for everyone, from hiking to salsa-making to silent discos.
We’ve completely reimagined the office: optional, open, and flexible.
Our space (aka "library") is a designated location in San Francisco for team members to kick back, socialize, do heads-down work or just enjoy a change of scenery.
We believe a strong sense of local community adds real value to our work (and personal) lives. Connect with fellow Thumbtackers in one of our Local Community Slack channels, where you can share neighborhood happenings, restaurant recommendations, and more. And of course, you’ll be invited to connect IRL too through meetups and meals. Today we have 30+ Local Communities throughout the U.S., Ontario region of Canada and the Philippines.
The results of our study affirm our commitment to a virtual-first way of working. Among people who’ve worked in both types of environments and understand their pros and cons, the consensus is clear: virtual work is better for productivity, job satisfaction, mental and physical health, and family dynamics.
