About Pinterest:  

Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You’ll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.

Creating a life you love also means finding a career that celebrates the unique perspectives and experiences that you bring. As you read through the expectations of the position, consider how your skills and experiences may complement the responsibilities of the role. We encourage you to think through your relevant and transferable skills from prior experiences.

Our new progressive work model is called PinFlex, a term that’s uniquely Pinterest to describe our flexible approach to living and working. Visit our PinFlex landing page to learn more. 

The Notifications team directly contributes to the company’s top line growth (MAUs) by reducing user churn and nudging dormant users to come back to the platform. The team focuses on minimizing user churn by keeping Pinterest top-of-mind for Pinners with engaging and contextual notifications that continuously give them a compelling reason to return to Pinterest. This is accomplished through:

  • Developing and operating the company-wide Notifications Delivery Platform (NEP), which is used by multiple teams within Core to spin up and run notification campaigns (omni-channel off-app).
  • Developing and operating ML/AI pipelines for generating and delivering highly personalized recommendations at scale.
  • Developing and operating the in-app Newshub surface, which is used as a launch-pad for further in-app exploration by engaged users.

What you’ll do

  • Partner with Eng and Product leads for Notifications to craft a compelling, ambitious and impactful multi-year AI/ML-powered technical strategy for evolving Notifications at Pinterest (e.g. Taking NEP Platform to the next level).
  • Influence the broader technical vision and strategy for Pinner Lifecycle through effective collaborations with Engineering (EMs, TLs and Senior ICs) and Cross-functional Stakeholders (PMs, Data Scientists, Designers and PMMs).
  • Translate the multi-year technical strategy for Notifications into a concrete engineering roadmap and lead the team’s technical execution towards realizing the vision (team of 25+ engineers).
  • Proactively foresees the potential risks in the engineering roadmap in the planning stage, leverages technical insight to provide mitigation plans, and gives appropriate feedback to other projects on review to adjust course to more stable solutions.

What we’re looking for:

  • 8+ years of experience with developing and operating large-scale distributed services/systems.
  • 3+ years of experience with developing technical strategy for one or more AI/ML-powered core product teams (e.g. Growth, Search, Ads etc.).
  • Excellent track record of collaborating with strong Engineering (EMs, TLs and Senior ICs) and Cross-functional Stakeholders (PMs, Data Scientists, Designers and PMMs) to influence the team’s 12 - 24 month engineering strategy.
  • Experience with building and scaling large-scale communications platforms (e.g. Pinterest’s NEP, LinkedIn’s Air Traffic Controller, Uber’s OOA Communications platform, Braze’s SageAI etc.) or large-scale content recommender/ranking systems (e.g. Ads Ranking, Feed Ranking, Search Ranking etc.).
  • Excellent understanding about how ML/AI fits into the broader system and drives product/business objectives.
  • Strong skills around systems-based thinking, first-principles based thinking and technical problem solving (e.g. topics discussed in Hidden Technical Debt in Machine Learning Systems).

 

This position is not eligible for relocation assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
