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. Within Pinterest, the Pinterest Labs organization focuses on applied ML research and development. Labs works across a broad variety of AI/ML initiatives,including core computer vision, multimodal representation learning, heterogeneous graph neural networks, generative modeling, and recommender systems. In this role, you'll work with Pinterest's rich visual-text dataset to train large-scale models from scratch that are continuously shipped to production to power visualization features. You'll build multimodal representations that power applications such as recommender systems, Semantic IDs, and a range of downstream ML models. Responsibilities: - Prototype state-of-the-art visual encoders that power Pinterest's recommender systems and internal visual language models. - Experiment with billion-scale datasets and gain hands-on experience with large-scale GPU computing. - Build flexible visual reasoning tools such as composed image retrieval, promptable detection/segmentation, and instruction-tuned embedding and generative models. - Read research papers, participate in group discussions, and help brainstorm the company's overall visual generative strategy. - Help collect relevant visual instruction training data that can be shared across multimodal representation, composed image retrieval, text-to-image generation and visual language modeling. - Publish and share your work through conferences, paper submissions, and blog posts. - Mentor junior researchers and research interns within the Pinterest Labs organization. Requirements: - Research engineers and scientists with experience building and training computer vision models. - Experience with multimodal representations and visual language modeling is strongly preferred. - A track record of research contributions (e.g., publications, open-source work) and/or shipping ML models to production. - Hands-on experience with large-scale model training and modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch). - Strong collaboration skills and a demonstrated ability to work effectively in a small, fast-moving team. - M.S. or PhD in Machine Learning or related academic areas, or equivalent work experience. Benefits: - The position is eligible for equity. - Base salary range: $189,308-$389,753 USD ## Skills ### Required - computer vision - machine learning - multimodal representations - visual language modeling - PyTorch ### Nice to have - Cursor - Copilot - Codex - AI coding assistants --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/pinterest/jobs/8015537?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
