The Team
Pinterest is transforming software engineering for the AI-native era. We’re evolving how engineers build, review, validate, deploy, and operate software by combining best-in-class AI tooling with strong technical standards and scalable operating mechanisms.

- Partner with engineering, infrastructure, security, and product teams to standardize best practices for AI-assisted development workflows.
- Define and operationalize scorecards, metrics, and guardrails across productivity, adoption, quality, reliability, and cost.
- Navigate ambiguity, align senior stakeholders, and turn emerging opportunities into durable multi-quarter execution plans.
- Communicate progress, risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to senior technical and executive audiences.
What We’re Looking For
- Significant experience leading large, cross-functional technical programs with company-level impact.
- Strong technical fluency in developer workflows, engineering systems, platform/tooling, or software infrastructure.
- Track record driving engineering productivity or transformation programs across multiple organizations.

- Exceptional stakeholder management, communication, and executive influence skills.
- Experience with AI-assisted engineering tools, developer agents, platform adoption, or software delivery transformation is strongly preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field or equivalent experience.
This is a rare opportunity to help define how software gets built at Pinterest in the AI era.
