Pinterest is where more than half a billion people come to find what they love and build a life around it. That experience depends on deep understanding — understanding what a Pinner loves, what a Pin means, and how to surface the right content at the right moment. Across recommender systems, signals, and representation learning, the Applied Sciences team develops the next generation technologies that power personalized discovery across Pinterest.

We’re looking for Staff Product Managers to help shape the next chapter of Pinterest’s applied AI/ML platform. In these roles, you’ll bring together research ambition and product discipline to help define the future of personalized experiences at one of the world’s leading discovery platforms.

The roles

Applied Sciences at Pinterest spans core areas including representation learning, signals, and recommender systems. This work includes embeddings, shared feature layers, unified models, ranking systems, and behavioral understanding that support retrieval, ranking, ads, and personalized experiences across Pinterest. These are scaled systems and infrastructure that teams across the company depend on, and every innovation compounds to our top line goals.

Pinterest’s work in this space is grounded in a few core principles: using historical user data to understand evolving preferences, developing models and systems that can support multiple tasks and surfaces, and maintaining infrastructure in a cost-conscious way to support sustainable scale across hundreds of millions of users.

As a Staff Product Manager on Applied Sciences, you’ll partner closely with science, engineering, research, and product teams across Pinterest to help define the roadmap, abstractions, and product strategy that make this work broadly useful across the company while strengthening the shared foundation. You’ll help balance innovation, adoption, scale, and long-term platform health.
