Employment Type: Full-Time Job

Job Description

Thumbtack is looking to build an amazing mobile experience for hundreds of thousands of users. Both sides of the Thumbtack marketplace (service providers and their clients) will benefit massively from enhanced mobile experiences. Imagine what you might do if you could run your business from your iPhone? If you could hire a service provider at any time day or night with just a few taps? The sky is the limit.

The front-end team at Thumbtack invests heavily in responsive web design and fast, elegant mobile experiences. We’ve seen this investment pay off incredibly. But we think we can do better with a fully native experience.

We’re looking for someone who’s built great iOS experiences in the past. We’re new to this, so need some guidance. That said, you’ll be working with great engineering and design teams who will be eager to assist you in making something really exceptional.

iOS Engineer | Requirements:

  • Excellent iOS/Objective-C engineer who is passionate about great design
  • Have released apps on the App Store. We’re looking for someone who’s done this before.
  • Excited by the potential of mobile technology to transform the lives of small businesses around the country.
  • Great communicator. We find that people who are good writers tend to be great thinkers and great coders.

Why Should You Join Us?     

  • Incredible Traction: We’re now helping millions of consumers a year across the country find the right pro and driving our business owners more than a quarter billion dollars worth of jobs annually. Sequoia just invested $12.5m so we can take Thumbtack to the next level. We’re just getting started.
  • Talented team: Our team is talented, fun, and passionate about what we do. We’re also an intellectually curious bunch, and come from a variety of interesting backgrounds (Google, The White House, Stanford MBA dropout, Yale Law, WolframAlpha, etc).
  • Enormous opportunity: Local services are a $500+ billion market and the space is wide open. This is your opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a dent-making company that is solving a real problem for real people.

Benefits

  • Chef-Prepared Food: Our chef prepares lunch and dinner daily in our in-office kitchen. Lunches and Wednesday team dinners are a time to gather around a communal table and invite friends to the office to savor the unique dishes and heady conversation. We feel passionate that great food is part of building a great company, and Esquire Magazine thought our food was good enough to write about.
  • High-Quality Health Care: Health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents, with 100% of premiums covered by us. We also cover the membership fee to One Medical so you’ll have access to high-quality, modern health care.
  • Compensation: Competitive salary and equity, and access to a 401(k) program.
  • Flexibility: We believe in working very hard, but we have flexible hours. We don’t have a vacation policy.
  • Beautiful Office: A beautiful loft office close to the Powell Street Muni and BART, bus lines and Caltrain.
  • Great Equipment: Huge monitors and the work environment of your choice, Mac, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, whatever makes you most productive.
  • Thumbtack Bucks: $500 when you start and $150 per month thereafter to spend hiring service professionals on Thumbtack. Education Reimbursement: $1500/year for books, classes, conferences or other educational expenses to help you gain new skills or expertise.
  • :): Love, inspiration and emoticons from our 200+ person remote teams in the Philippines and Las Vegas
