About Pinterest:
Millions of people around the world come to our platform 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.
Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It’s Possible.
At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.
Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.
The Ads Quality team helps Pinners move from inspiration to action by showing the right ad at the right time. We are at the core of the entire ads system optimizing for Pinner, Advertiser, and Pinterest value. The output of this work will both be highly impactful (driving measurable value for Pinners and Advertisers) and highly visible (your launches will change the way the app looks and feels), and will critically contribute to our mission of helping hundreds of millions of people find the inspiration to create a life they love.
The ideal candidate has a passion for delighting our Pinners and strong intuition about what matters most to their experience. In addition, they must possess a deep understanding of the back-end systems, have worked cross functionally with engineering, data teams, and PMM and understand the interaction effects of introducing qualitatively different content onto the page, and tradeoff dynamics of the ads marketplace.
What you’ll do:
- Own a vision for new and existing capabilities that help match the right ad to the right Pinner at the right time, and translate problem statements into clear business and technical requirements through focused business requirements documents (BRDs) and product requirement documents (PRDs), including epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria, for your area. Create and maintain a clear, prioritized roadmap and requirements backlog, track requirement status from discovery through GA, and ensure traceability from business goals to shipped features. Plan and deliver a sequenced roadmap, aligning with partner teams on architecture, guardrails, and experimentation so launches drive measurable advertiser and Pinner outcomes. Coordinate changes to well-defined components within back-end ads delivery systems (e.g., parts of retrieval, ranking, pacing/budgeting, auction/bidding, quality/diversity guardrails, conversion visibility, forecasting, modeling, or measurement) to meet product requirements.
