About the role
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement AI-assisted workflows - using tools like Claude Code and Figma MCP - that move work between Figma, prototypes, and our production frontend codebase.
- Work as the engineering counterpart to Product Design - pairing on patterns, components, and workflows that make their work compose into shipped product.
- Evolve Thumbprint, our design system, so it composes cleanly with agentic tooling: machine-readable documentation, MCP-friendly component metadata, and tight integration with the prototyping platform.
- Partner with Developer Experience on the AI agent and tooling foundation, and with Frontend Infrastructure on our web stack, so this work builds on top of theirs rather than duplicating it.
- Engage the engineers and designers who use what you build: run office hours, prioritize their feedback, and ship the highest-impact improvements to how product teams move from idea to production.
- Demonstrated experience as a frontend engineer building production product surfaces, with the systems-thinking instincts to reason about tooling, workflows, and platforms as well as features.
- Deep hands-on fluency with the modern web stack: TypeScript, React, and the build, test, and deploy tools that surround them.
- A track record of building tools and infrastructure that other engineers or non-engineers actually adopted, with judgment about onboarding, documentation, and the feedback loops that make adoption stick.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration instincts, comfortable working closely with designers, PMs, and partner engineering teams as your primary users.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, and considered opinions about their limits, where they help, and how to scale them beyond personal use.
- Design system experience is welcome but not required
- Actual offered salaries will vary and will be based on various factors, such as calibrated job level, qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role.
