Job Description

A home is the biggest investment most people make, and yet, it doesn’t come with a manual. That's why we’re building the only app homeowners need to effortlessly manage their homes —  knowing what to do, when to do it, and who to hire. With Thumbtack, millions of people care for what matters most, and pros earn billions of dollars through our platform. And as one of the fastest-growing companies in a $500B industry — we must be doing something right. 

We are driven by a common goal and the deep satisfaction that comes from knowing our work supports local economies, helps small businesses grow, and brings homeowners peace of mind. We’re seeking people who continually put our purpose first: advocating for pros and customers, embracing change, and choosing teamwork every day.

At Thumbtack, we're creating a new era of home care. If making an impact and the chance to do good inspires you, join us. Imagine what we’ll build together.

About the Team

Challenge

Our team works from the top of the funnel which creates a challenge in terms of scale in both the number and variety of users. More specifically, it requires us to consider how we go about scaling and designing experiences for a wide range of users that we aren’t incredibly familiar with immediately. Many of the experiences that we build in our apps are to onboard, engage, and re-engage our users which requires consistent A/B tests in relation to their experiences.

  • Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams such as Product and Design to plan and execute on engineering projects
  • Work on large projects and lead small teams of engineers
What you'll need 
  • Passionate iOS engineer who is an expert in  building, testing, releasing, and maintaining applications in either Swift or Objective C
  • Minimum of 5 years of industry experience in engineering
  • History of shipping consumer focused apps that users love on the App Store, you can show what you’ve owned
  • Excited by the potential of mobile technology to transform the lives of small businesses around the country
  • Execute new ideas quickly and effectively on iOS while also being a resource to other teams and engineers.
  • Drive engineering projects to completion, with a tenacious focus on the business impact of those projects. Skilled at prioritizing tasks to deliver on goals with a sense of urgency.
