## Description

Millions of people around the world come to Pinterest to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities, and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we're on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

The Ads Delivery Infrastructure team at Pinterest builds and operates the real-time serving, indexing, retrieval, and budgeting systems that power Shopping and Ads at Pinterest. We're in the middle of a significant modernization effort: unifying our catalog and index platforms to scale to billions of items, moving core services onto our next-generation compute platform, and re-architecting our budgeting systems for real-time accuracy.

Responsibilities:

- Lead or support programs that scale Pinterest's Shopping and Ads catalog, indexing, and retrieval systems to handle billions of items, partnering with engineering leads across catalog, search infrastructure, and retrieval.

- Drive cross-team execution on infrastructure modernization initiatives, including migrations to next-generation compute and storage platforms, managing timeline, dependency, and risk across service owners.

- Build and maintain program dashboards and reporting that give engineering and business stakeholders a clear, current view of progress, risk, and decisions.

- Partner with engineering on reliability and incident-response initiatives for revenue-critical serving systems.

- Communicate technical tradeoffs and program status clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, from individual engineers to senior leadership.

- Use GenAI as the default operating model for EP PgM execution,producing AI-assisted first drafts of core program artifacts, modernizing high-toil workflows into AI-first mechanisms, and synthesizing signals to proactively surface risks, decision/trade-offs, and escalation paths.

- Prototype solutions to augment decisions through data or simplify processes using AI coding assistants.

- Follow Pinterest AI guidance for risk, governance, and safety-by-design: appropriately handle sensitive data, validate AI-generated outputs, document assumptions/limits, and ensure AI-assisted workflows meet applicable policy/compliance expectations before broad adoption.

Requirements:

- 5+ years of TPM/Product Ownership experience leading complex, cross-functional technical programs, ideally within large-scale distributed systems, search/retrieval, or ads/monetization infrastructure.

- Solid understanding of the principles behind large-scale serving, indexing, or retrieval systems, and the tradeoffs involved in scaling them.

- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience building dashboards, interpreting data, and using insights to drive decisions.

- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of partnering with senior engineering and business stakeholders in high-visibility settings.

- Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities across a fast-moving, multi-workstream roadmap.

- Experience with ads, monetization, or data infrastructure is a plus; willingness to learn and grow across domains is essential.

- Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI.

- Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field or equivalent experience.

Benefits:

- The position is eligible for equity.

- Base salary range: $123,684-$254,644 USD
