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.

On the Ads Intelligence team we work on building products that solve advertiser problems that either fall outside of the typical stages of ads delivery or that span across many of the stages. As part of the team you will identify, design and implement systems and models that broadly improve the ads delivery funnel or power products that reduce friction for advertisers and ad sales. In short, this is a unique position, where you’ll get the freedom to chart your own journey and where you’ll get the opportunity to dive deep into many areas of ads.

• Identify advertiser problems, analyze existing data to highlight the problem and opportunity size and propose and implement novel solutions.
• Build and improve machine learning models and backend systems that underlay ads delivery and advertiser interfaces to maximize value for Pinners, Partners and Pinterest.
• Run ads delivery experiments that either explore advertiser problems or that validate your solutions to said problems.
• Drive multi-functional collaboration with peers and partners across the company to identify and solve advertiser problems that stretch across many areas.
