About the Experiments team

The Experiments Team sits at the intersection of customer experience, operations, and product innovation, working hands-on with customers and pros to test, refine, and help scale new service models at Thumbtack. As frontline experts, the team delivers high-quality, empathetic support while pressure-testing workflows, uncovering friction, and turning real-world insights into improvements that shape future products and services. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Trust & Safety, thrive in fast-moving and ambiguous environments, and take pride in defining what “great” looks like before it becomes the standard.
