Thumbtack is the one app you need to take care of and improve your home — from personalized guidance to AI tools and a best-in-class hiring experience. Every day in every county of the U.S., people turn to Thumbtack to complete urgent repairs, seasonal maintenance and bigger improvements.

ABOUT THE IT INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM

The IT Infrastructure team builds and operates the systems that power how Thumbtack employees work. The team is composed of two core functions — IT Systems & Endpoint Engineering and IT Systems Architecture — delivering reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure across identity, SaaS platforms, cloud systems, and endpoint management. We partner closely with IT Operations, Security, and other Engineering teams to provide seamless access to the tools employees need, and we own these systems end-to-end — from intake and implementation through ongoing operations and continuous improvement.

You’ll collaborate with engineers, program managers, leaders and partners to execute projects, manage critical data, and implement and maintain our infrastructure, systems and integrations. You will leverage your in-depth knowledge of SaaS systems administration, cloud-hosted services, authentication/access systems and security to solve challenges big and small.

- Triage and handle inbound IT Infrastructure requests from the business, including scoping requirements to implement SSO and other integrations, configuration of SaaS tools, and leveraging automation to solve inefficient business processes.

- Collaborate with and enable cross-functional teams across the business to improve efficiency via systems design and automation, and AI tools.

- Manage data, security, and legal governance processes and maintain compliance with security standards (least-privilege access, patching, two-factor authentication, VPN).

- Proactively monitor systems health, identify, troubleshoot and resolve advanced issues, and participate in on-call rotation for critical components & changes (change/incident management).

- Drive and contribute to technology projects with a focus on delivering business value.

IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU MUST BRING

- 5+ years IT systems engineering experience in a distributed, enterprise IT environment

- Proven track record administering core IT platforms like Okta, Google Workspace, Atlassian, GitHub, Claude and Slack.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
