Reimagining the way we work.
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.
What it means to be virtual-first, not virtual-only.
Make an impact from where you live.
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 anywhere in the United States, Ontario & British Columbia or anywhere in the Philippines.
Experience the power of in-person.
In-person connections matter. Come together to deepen relationships and build community. Meet your teammates face-to-face at local gatherings, regular offsite events, and Camp Thumbtack, our annual company-wide retreat.
Thrive in an equitable environment.
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.
How we work virtually.
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.
Building relationships IRL.
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 also bring everyone together annually at Camp Thumbtack, which is like summer camp — but way better.
Not your average “office”.
We’ve completely reimagined the office: optional, open, and flexible.
Our spaces (aka “Libraries”) are designated locations for team members to kick back, socialize, do heads-down work, or just enjoy a change of scenery. Today, we have Libraries in San Francisco, Toronto, and the Philippines.
We look forward to additional locations as our local communities grow and our virtual-first model evolves.
Meet Thumbtackers near you.
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 20+ Local Communities throughout the U.S., Ontario region of Canada, and the Philippines.

Embracing a Homestead Lifestyle in Oklahoma
In this Q&A, we chatted with Josh McKeachnie, Sr. Manager of Data Analytics. After more than 30 years in Utah, he made a move to Ponca City, Oklahoma in search of more property to build his family’s dream home.

More than twelve months ago we began our journey to design and unpack our stance on the Future of Work. We wrestled for months over who we wanted to be. We eventually settled on a clear vision to create an effective, flexible, and equitable workplace — our stance: virtual first, not virtual only.

Last Spring, we made the decision to embrace a virtual-first model coupled with in-person events and local communities. From providing our team members with more freedom to live their lives to supporting our efforts to build a more diverse and equitable workplace, making the transition made sense for us in so many ways.
