Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2014)

Thumbtack helps people get their person projects accomplished by introducing them to local service professionals. We can help you refurnish your kitchen, hire a wedding photographer, and even a bartender for a party you are throwing. We work hard to empower small businesses to grow and be successful.

Some of our core values are 1) to help locally, scale globally, 2) to obsess over our customers, and 3) to improve relentlessly. To that effect, our biggest markets are actually in other cities such as Los Angelos and New York, and we offer employees a stipend for learning materials and conferences to encourage personal growth inside and outside of the office.

Our engineering team is now 18 people working in an office of about 70 total employees. We eat family-style meals cooked by our in-house chefs, study CS theory together, build robots, brew beer, and play board games.

We offer competitive salary and equity along with great health insurance and a flexible vacation policy.

We're hiring software engineers with the following kinds of expertise:

  * Front-end
  * Back-end
  * Site reliability / DevOps
  * Analytics and big data
  * Statistics
  * Data science
  * Android

We're a high-standards group with a lot of pride in our products, code, and people. We understand consumer scale and data (Reddit co-founder & engineers) and aspire to build products that customers love. We've had success due to this, consistently getting 4-5 star reviews on app/play stores and net promoter scores at or above the best in the tech industry.

We're friends first and enable you to do your best work. Processes are light and trust is high. At 26 engineers we're not so big where you can't know everyone well and have an impact, but not so small where it's chaos and you don't have anyone to learn from. We value learning and growth (and not having bored people) and invest regular time in doing so. For example, every other Friday is open time for you to do stuff that helps you be a better engineer.

We're looking for folks that love all of the above and can help us raise our standards. You can email us at jobs-2014@hipmunk.com if you're interested!
