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.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Verticalized Shopping - an end to end mobile and backend team that makes every Pin actionable, from first spark of inspiration to purchase. You will own the technical vision and execution for shopping experiences that cut across Ads, Content, and Growth, and pioneer how we use genAI to turn messy human inspiration into clear next steps for Pinners. Your team will move fast, ship experiments, and learn in the open to drive utility, retention and revenue, working closely with Product, Design, Data Science and our commerce partnerships. You will hire and grow high caliber engineers, set a high bar for craft and speed, and build simple systems and processes that let the team do the best work of their careers while shaping the future of commerce on Pinterest.

What will you be doing:

  • Leading an end to end mobile and backend team that makes every Pin more shoppable and actionable
  • Owning the technical roadmap for verticalized shopping across Ads, Content and Growth
  • Pioneering how we use genAI to turn inspiration into clear next steps for Pinners
  • Driving an experiment led culture that learns fast on utility, retention and revenue
  • Hiring growing and inspiring high caliber engineers to do the best work of their careers

What we’re looking for:

  • 9+ years of experience in software engineering, 3+ years in engineering management leading end to end product teams
  • A thought leader and cross functional partner who drives innovation and gets high performance from strong engineers
  • Proven experience building large scale distributed systems and mobile experiences in consumer, ads or commerce domains
  • Deep comfort with experiments, metrics and ambiguity - you use data and fast iteration to find product market fit
  • Excitement about applied genAI and how it can turn content into action for Pinners, merchants and advertisers
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, a related field or equivalent experience

Relocation Statement:

  • This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.

In-Office Requirement Statement:

  • We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
  • This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times per quarter and therefore needs to be in a commutable distance from the Toronto office (85 Richmond St. W).
