    Backend Engineer, Partnership

    at Thumbtack Remote, Ontario

    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 $600B+ 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.

    Our mission is to broaden Thumbtack's reach and engage with our target customer through partnerships – diversifying our customer acquisition channel mix and boosting our brand awareness and trust.

    We are also responsible for maintaining and growing existing lines of business that were previously created within this group which represent a significant percentage of overall revenue.
