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.

About the Design Team

We're a tight-knit team of product designers, researchers, and content designers working closely with engineers and product managers to research, explore, and iterate on well-crafted user experiences that are innovative, engaging, and delightful.

About the Role

As a Senior Product Designer on the Home Care Plan team, you’ll work collaboratively and iteratively to turn complex problems into intuitive user experiences.

  • Use research and qualitative data to guide design and development decisions 
  • Develop a deep understanding of our customers while focusing on key metrics 
  • Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes
  • Test, learn, and iterate; solve existing problems and discover new opportunities through experimentation
