Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

You have to be 18 years old to work for Thumbtack. Thumbtack has a wide range of career opportunities, including entry-level positions that require little to no experience. Thumbtack is happy to provide training from the ground up for the right candidate.

Thumbtack also has internship programs available for students working to get their undergraduate degrees. Internship programs include:

Research experience
Software engineering
Content design
Operations
Analytics
Product design

The internship positions typically take place over the summer months and are about 12 weeks long. During these positions, you will collaborate with a mentor on the team and be assigned actual job tasks. You will be embedded within the product teams and serve as an advocate for the needs of customers and Pros alike.

According to a former software engineer intern, there are 2 key things you should know to make the most of your time in the program. The first thing is to be proactive. Don't be afraid to take ownership roles and be responsible for the work that is being done.

According to this intern, Thumbtack's environment is unique in that everyone is passionate about what they do (keep this in mind if you are going for a full-time position rather than an internship as it is important to know how the company functions). In addition to being passionate, everyone is willing to help in any way they can.

The second thing is to be curious. It is up to you to explore how all of the different parts of Thumbtack come together as that is truly the only way that you can offer ideas or implementations for improvement. Thumbtack knows that technology is always evolving and it is up to them to adapt and be ready for change.
