The Team Pinterest's Ads Delivery Infrastructure team 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. We work closely with engineering, product, and monetization teams to keep Pinterest's advertising systems fast, reliable, and ready to scale. What You'll Do: - 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 (e.g., intake triage, status synthesis, action/decision extraction, risk & dependency tracking), and synthesizing signals to proactively surface risks, decision/trade-offs, and escalation paths. - Prototype solutions to augment decisions through data (e.g. dashboards, data analysis) or simplify processes (e.g. process and workflow helpers, or internal tools) using AI coding assistants (“vibe coding”). - 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. What We're Looking For: - 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 (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate) - Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) 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. Join us and help scale the infrastructure behind Pinterest's Shopping and Ads business! Relocation Statement: - This position is not eligible for relocation assistance.
