Remote-First

Thumbtack is a home care app that helps homeowners know which projects to do, when to do them, and who to hire. It pairs personalized guidance and AI tools with a marketplace of local service businesses, covering everything from urgent repairs to seasonal maintenance and bigger improvements. Thumbtack was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in San Francisco.

Thumbtack's Remote Policy

From Thumbtack's virtual-first page: "Simply put, we're not planning a return to the office. Virtual-first is here to stay at Thumbtack." Its people "work virtually day-to-day and connect at in-person gatherings throughout the year," and the company describes the model as "virtual-first, not virtual-only." Employees are expected to be available during core synchronous collaboration hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. PT. Attending in-person gatherings is "an essential and expected part of joining our team," and travel is required for every role. San Francisco employees also have a space available for heads-down work.

Why Thumbtack

Thumbtack runs a two-sided marketplace: homeowners on one side, and on the other the local service businesses they hire. The company says people in every county of the U.S. use it every day.

The company runs on five values: Lead with why, Make it count, Own it, Choose teamwork and Say what you mean. Leaders share 360 reviews and quarterly financial and business updates, and hold AMAs. Teams work asynchronously across locations and time zones, using Slack and Google Workspace alongside AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. Employee resource groups, including a Parents ERG and an Immigrants ERG, run in North America and the Philippines, and the company gives out Values Awards.
