Pinterest is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the Developer Fundamentals team within Developer Foundations. In this role you'll lead a team responsible for improving the daily development experience for every Pinterest engineer by shaping the core workflows developers rely on to write, review and ship code. The team owns critical surfaces in the developer workflow including source control, developer CLIs, developer environments and code navigation.

What you’ll do: 

  • Lead and grow a team of 5+ engineers responsible for the core developer workflows used by every Pinterest engineer, setting clear direction, execution standards and operational excellence for the platform
  • Own the team's roadmap in partnership with the TL, balancing strategic initiatives with operational reliability
  • Drive execution on key initiatives including AI-native developer workflows, developer environment modernization and CLI standardization
  • Champion AI-native development practices across the team, using AI coding tools to accelerate delivery and model best practices for the broader engineering organization
  • Define and drive the team’s approach to AI developer environments, including sandbox usability, agent tooling integration and AI-assisted code review workflows
  • Build a culture of developer empathy: understand the pain points of Pinterest engineers and translate them into high-impact improvements
  • Establish and improve operational practices including oncall rotations, incident response and production health metrics
  • Partner with cross-functional teams (Developer Infrastructure, Security, ML Infrastructure) to ensure developer workflows integrate smoothly with underlying systems
  • Hire and develop engineers, creating clear growth paths and a high-trust team environment

What we’re looking for:

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience leading teams of 4+ engineers
  • Experience improving developer experience with a track record of identifying and removing friction in engineering workflows
  • Strong technical background building or operating developer platforms such as source control systems, developer CLIs, developer environments, build systems or CI/CD
  • Experience improving developer workflows and operating developer platforms at scale in large engineering environments, including ownership of oncall, reliability improvements and service health metrics
  • Ability to partner effectively with a Tech Lead to align people leadership with technical direction
  • Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and developer tools in day-to-day engineering work, with an ability to evaluate and adopt emerging tools effectively
  • Familiarity with how AI is transforming developer workflows – code generation, code review, agent-driven development and developer environments
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate technical strategy to both engineers and senior leadership
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field or equivalent experience
