Growing up without access to extra academic support is something many kids experience. For Employee Experience Manager Stephanie Hernandez (She/ella), it’s important that her son has the support she didn’t. That’s why she uses Thumbtack Bucks, a reimbursement employees can use to hire Thumbtack pros, to book a tutor for her son. It’s one small way a workplace benefit can have a meaningful impact, both at work and at home. Learn more about how our employees find meaning at work, and outside of it: https://lnkd.in/e-2ukevc

At Thumbtack, you don't need to know how to code or build software to make our systems better. Just ask Jorge Cardona. As a Senior Writer on our Field Enablement team and a native Spanish speaker, Jorge could tell something was off when some of our Spanish translations didn’t sound natural or consistent with Thumbtack’s voice. So he built the AI tool that fixed it. Jorge's story is one of many. See where your ideas could take you. Come build with us: https://lnkd.in/eNtQPa4U

This October we’re spotlighting our Immigrants Employee Resource Group. The mission of Immigrants ERG is powerful: to foster connection, belonging, and inclusivity among our diverse immigrant population. For Misha Garg, Director, People Products & Data and Immigrants ERG Founder & Lead, the ERG has been more than a source of belonging — it's helped her build lasting relationships and shaped how she shows up as a leader. Follow along throughout the month to meet more of the people in our Immigrants ERG, and learn more about belonging at Thumbtack: https://lnkd.in/eTK7uyUv

We believe that taking care of yourself helps you bring your best self to work. And sometimes, that means being fully away from it. For Michael Russo, CP-RM™ (he/him), Employer Brand Manager, that looks like taking beach vacations with his family, just like he did growing up. Knowing his team has things covered gives him the space to actually unplug, be present, and make the kind of memories that last long after summer ends.  Find a workplace that makes space for life outside of work: https://lnkd.in/ejjbFjvU

A few months ago I shared that Thumbtack was expanding our engineering team as we continue to build AI-powered products for homeowners and pros, along with new internal platforms that are changing how we work. That momentum has only continued, and I’m excited to share that we’re continuing to grow our engineering team, this time hiring for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Developer Experience team.  The Developer Experience team is at the center of our transformation, building the platform that enables our engineers to use AI and agents effectively, and rethinking the software development lifecycle. It's an exciting opportunity to work on the foundations of how an engineering organization builds, and to turn what we learn into better, faster, and higher quality ways of working across the company.

We work hard to help homeowners find the right pros for their projects. And we also get to experience the magic of finding the right pros for ourselves, too. Through our Thumbtack Bucks benefit, Thumbtackers get reimbursed for hiring pros on the app. For Susannah Chandhok, PhD (she/her), Senior Experience Researcher, using hers for a commissioned painting of her two dogs was incredibly special. And now she has a keepsake worth a thousand treats. Explore more of what life at Thumbtack has to offer: https://lnkd.in/eecErRWS
