At Thumbtack, the Marketplace team is responsible for building a world-class, two-sided marketplace where customers have delightful hiring experiences. We are also responsible for building a healthy ecosystem that maximizes marketplace value for customers and pros on our platform.
This includes enhancing the end-to-end search & hiring experience that enables millions of U.S. customers to find and hire professionals from a marketplace of more than 300,000 local businesses. This includes challenges like:
The marketplace team is organized into a set of smaller cross-functional product teams (pods) that own certain key problems and their underlying infrastructure. Each pod is typically composed of an engineering manager, a product manager, around 6-12 software engineers and cross functional partners like designers, applied scientists, data scientists etc. Each pod typically runs 20-30 experiments (A/B tests) per year, typically aimed at driving business metrics related to conversion or monetization.
We are seeking an Engineering Manager for one of the cross-functional product teams (pods) within the larger marketplace team. You will partner with the Product Manager to help define technical & product strategy that include your team’s OKRs (Objectives & Key Results), and will be responsible for driving execution. You will also be responsible for coaching and managing engineers (backend, front end, iOS, Android) on a full-stack product team.
Given that the marketplace team drives a sizable portion of Thumbtack’s revenue growth, this is a high impact, high visibility role within the company. To be successful in this role, you will need to effectively collaborate with cross functional counterparts (product, design, applied science, data science etc.) across the company.
Actual offered salaries will vary and will be based on various factors, such as calibrated job level, qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role.
