San Francisco, Thumbtack. H1B welcome.
(You probably haven't heard of Thumbtack. We've been flying under the Silicon Valley radar for quite some time.)
Thumbtack is a new way to find and hire people to help you get things accomplished: whether a DJ for the party you're throwing this weekend, a contractor to renovate your kitchen, or an SAT tutor to help you prep for exams, or anything else, Thumbtack will help. And on the flip side: if you provide any kind of service, Thumbtack will help you connect with new clients and grow your business. Millions of people are using Thumbtack already.
Our engineering team is currently 10 people. We're looking for software engineer generalists, or specialists in any domain (frontend, backend, mobile, ops, data science). I often describe our team as being academic, deliberate, and compassionate.
Things we like: Python (Pyramid), Postgres, Mongo, R, Pandas, AngularJS.
Our office is in SoMa. Our chef cooks amazing meals for us everyday, we brew a lot of our own beer, we read books together. We play, but mostly we're just excited to be making amazing products for our users and making their lives better.
Come help us transform the local services industry, bring it into the 21st century, and change the lives of millions of people.
