About the Team

The Partnerships team at Thumbtack focuses on unlocking growth by integrating with strategic external partners to drive high-intent demand to our marketplace. Our work spans building APIs, iframe widgets, and partner-facing surfaces that connect Thumbtack with platforms like Amazon Alexa, OpenAI, Perplexity, Samsung, Nextdoor, Redfin and Realtor.com.

We’re a fast-moving team of 16 engineers organized into two pods, aka 2 EMs, each focused on a specific set of partner verticals (e.g., retail, HOA, lead aggregators). We work cross-functionally with BizDev, Product, Design, and Data Science to identify and execute high-leverage opportunities that help both Pros and Customers succeed on Thumbtack.

The Challenge

Accelerate Thumbtack’s growth by turning the right partnerships into scalable product experiences. When thinking about partnerships at Thumbtack, imagine how Google powers search across websites with a subtle “Powered by Google” tag—our integrations aim to deliver that same kind of invisible, high-impact value across partner ecosystems.
