Recent hiring and departures—64 additions against 61 exits—have kept overall headcount roughly flat, signaling a steady operating tempo. The organization is composed of more than a dozen business functions and a geographically distributed workforce that spans North America and the Asia-Pacific region.
Engineering is Thumbtack’s largest function at 272 employees, reflecting the company’s emphasis on product development and platform reliability. Customer engagement is handled by a 221-person Sales & Support team, while Marketing and Product collectively account for 200 staff members focused on growth and user experience.
