The Conversion Visibility team, based in Seattle, empowers a high-performing ads marketplace by connecting Pinterest onsite activity with offsite conversions (both digital and physical) in a privacy-preserving manner. As a Sr. Staff Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing the next generation of measurement techniques that demonstrate value to advertisers while upholding the privacy of our Pinners. Conversion Visibility is a top strategic priority for Pinterest as we look to 2026 and beyond, enabling both creators and advertisers to precisely measure the impact of their content and campaigns. Your work will be critical in helping advertisers confidently move from experimentation to growth and scaled investment.

What you’ll do:

• Create a scalable and highly available pipeline for ingesting, matching, and attributing conversion events, with data accuracy guarantees and near real time latency.

• Tackle privacy headwinds head-on with improved, resilient conversion setup with advertisers and protect match rates to defend visibility into event-level, identifiable conversions.

• Develop de-identified and unidentified conversions, leveraging longer-term sustainable privacy preserving mechanisms.

• Build systems that process petabytes of data every day using cutting edge technologies.

• Lead technical initiatives across multiple teams, mentor engineers and build effective XFN alignment.

What we’re looking for:

• BS (or higher) degree in Computer Science, or a related field.

• 10+ years of relevant industry experience in leading the design of large scale & production systems.

• Deep knowledge with at least one state-of-art programming language (Java, C++, Python).

• Deep knowledge with building distributed systems or measurement solutions.

• Extensive, hands-on expertise working with Conversion API, identity, attribution, ads reporting and incrementality.

• Strong product intuition for digital and mobile app advertising campaigns.

• Individuals looking to work in a close, collaborative group to drive success of key business metrics.

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 time per week and therefore needs to be in a commutable distance from the Seattle office.

Relocation Statement:

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