Marketplace • SaaS

Thumbtack is an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local service professionals for home maintenance, repairs, remodeling, and other home projects. The platform lets customers describe projects in their own words, browse local pros across many trades (e. g. , cleaners, handymen, plumbers, electricians, painters, HVAC, contractors, landscapers), view reviews and cost estimates, message pros without sharing contact details until messaging, and offers a guarantee up to $2,500 if a job isn't done as agreed. Thumbtack provides consumer-facing apps and a separate pro-focused experience with resources, community, and tools for professionals to manage leads and reviews. It covers every county in the U. S. and emphasizes project guides, cost guides, and home maintenance plans.

📋 Description

• Own the patterns, flows, and component compositions that power product experiences across iOS, Android, and web, ensuring consistency and quality at every layer. • Design and ship reusable components with a high bar for craft, including well-defined states, variants, responsiveness, and interaction models. • Define and maintain platform-native interaction patterns that make our product feel cohesive and intentional across surfaces. • Evolve Thumbprint over time to keep pace with modern UI patterns, platform conventions, and the changing needs of our product. • Create clear, opinionated documentation and usage guidance, including best practices, anti-patterns, and decision frameworks teams can act on. • Enable teams to adopt and extend the design system through onboarding, critique, and hands-on partnership. • Collaborate with technical partners to ensure Thumbprint works within AI-driven workflows, including Claude Code, Figma MCP, and our internal prototyping tools. • In addition, work closely with Engineering partners to define, align, and maintain parity between design components in Figma and their coded implementation, ensuring a seamless design-to-development workflow and single source of truth. • Contribute to the naming, taxonomy, and structure so Thumbprint is legible and usable by both people and AI tools.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time owning or evolving a design system at a product company. • Deep familiarity with platform conventions across iOS, Android, and web, including how great apps are structured and how that shapes interaction design. • High craft bar for visual design and component work; you build components that are polished, production-ready, and designed to scale. • Expert-level Figma skills, including component architecture, variables, tokens, and auto-layout. • Comfortable working across the design-to-code workflow; you know your way around Storybook, design tokens, and GitHub, and can collaborate closely with engineers on implementation. • Strong written communication skills; you write documentation that is clear, opinionated, and easy to act on. • Active interest in how design systems evolve in AI-driven product development, including how system structure and documentation enable teams and tools to work more effectively. • Deep knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG AA) and a commitment to ensuring all components and patterns are inclusive and usable.

🏖️ Benefits

• Thumbtack embraces diversity. • Equal opportunity workplace. • Commitment to reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities.
