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 widges, 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.

Accelerate Thumbtack’s growth by turning the right partnerships into scalable product experiences.
