Ben Engber, CEO & Founder of Thumbtack Technology

Ben has made a career around building highly reliable internet-scale applications. Prior to founding Thumbtack in 2003 he was VP of Operations Technology at GiftCertificates.com, where he built the back-office and e-commerce architectures needed to support millions of digital and physical transactions per day. During his tenure he became acutely aware of the need for outsourced labor that could both understand core business concerns and drive high-quality and robust software infrastructure projects. His inability to find such a partner led him to establish Thumbtack. Ben holds a BS in Mathematics from the University of Chicago and a MBA from Boston University.

Thumbtack Technology is a leading software development services firm, specializing in building and integrating scalable applications and systems for Fortune 500 clients and startups. With a core specialty in cloud architectures and non-traditional storage platforms, Thumbtack provides application development, data analytics, and performance optimization solutions for companies looking to extend their platforms to scale Internet demands.

Thumbtack offers a variety of engineering services, with statisticians on staff to assist with Big Data Analytics and machine learning problems. We also offer strategic advisory services on how to design applications to be horizontally scalable and fault tolerant for best use of cloud environments.
