THUMBTACK HELPS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CONFIDENTLY CARE FOR THEIR HOMES.
Thumbtack is the one app you need to take care of and improve your home — from personalized guidance to AI tools and a
best-in-class hiring experience. Every day in every county of the U.S., people turn to Thumbtack to complete urgent repairs,
seasonal maintenance and bigger improvements. We help homeowners know which projects to do, when to do them and who to hire from
our growing community of 300,000 local service businesses. If making an impact inspires you, join us. Imagine what we’ll build
together.
The Neighborhoods team is on a mission to transform how customers interact with Thumbtack by leveraging hyper-local social proof
and community-driven insights. We are building the foundational experience that connects homeowners through their shared service
needs, turning property care into a collective, transparent journey. Our goal is to empower users to be proactive in caring for
their homes by surfacing relevant, real-time service activity in their immediate area, ultimately fostering a more engaging,
