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.

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.

What you’ll do:

  • Build out the backend for Pinner-facing features to power the future of inspiration on Pinterest
  • Contribute to and lead each step of the product development process, from ideation to implementation to release; from rapidly prototyping, running A/B tests, to architecting and building solutions that can scale to support millions of users
  • Partner with design, product, and backend teams to build end-to-end functionality
  • Put on your Pinner hat to suggest new product ideas and features
  • Employ automated testing to build features with a high degree of technical quality, taking responsibility for the components and features you develop
  • Grow as an engineer by working with world-class peers on varied and high impact projects
  • Design, develop, and operate large scale, distributed systems and networks
  • Work with Engineering customers to understand new requirements and address them in a scalable and efficient manner
  • Actively work to improve the developer process and experience in all phases from coding to operation

What we’re looking for:

  • 2+ years of industry backend development experience, building consumer or business facing products
  • Proficiency in common backend tech stacks for RESTful API, online service, storage, caching and data processing
  • Experience building & operating large scale distributed systems and/or networks. Bonus points if you enjoy deploying and operating large scale workloads on a public cloud footprint
  • Experience in Python, Java, C++, or Go or another language and a willingness to learn
  • Experience in following best practices in writing reliable and maintainable code that may be used by many other engineers
  • Ability to keep up-to-date with new technologies to understand what should be incorporated
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills
