TaskRabbit
IKEA-owned marketplace connecting people with skilled Taskers for home services like furniture assembly, handyman work, and moving
About
TaskRabbit is a marketplace platform that connects people with skilled service providers, known as "Taskers," for everyday home projects including furniture assembly, handyman work, moving help, mounting, and more. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company was built on the principle of "neighbors helping neighbors" and operates across multiple countries. TaskRabbit was acquired by the IKEA Group (Ingka Group) in 2017.
The engineering team works across a modern stack spanning JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and React Native, building location-based marketplace technology and mobile applications. TaskRabbit maintains an active open-source presence on GitHub with notable projects including react-native-parsed-text (1.3k stars).
TaskRabbit's mission is "transforming lives, one task at a time." The company has offices in San Francisco, New York, and London, and is actively investing in AI strategy and machine learning capabilities.
