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 anywhere.
We know great talent exists everywhere. Which is why we empower our teammates to choose where they live and work. At Thumbtack, you can grow your career wherever you want to set down roots.
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 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 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, Salt Lake City, 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.

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.
