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:
