You will build the team roadmap and leverage state-of-the-art serving infrastructure to efficiently and effectively serve ads to Pinterest users across all surfaces.
What you’ll do
Define and execute the technical strategy for scaling and modernizing our ad serving infrastructure.

Rich experience working cross-functionally to drive alignment, oversee execution and secure deliverables.
Hands-on experience solving complex scaling, latency, or low-level system performance problems in high-volume online serving systems.
Knowledge of industry best practices and trends, and the ability to form a long-term plan for the team.
Passionate about building ads serving stack visibility and solving Ops/customer pain points.
Experience mentoring, guiding and uplifting junior engineers.
Experience solving end-user problems and envisioning solutions to improve productivity.
Proficiency in at least one of the system languages (C++, Java, Python).
In-Office Requirement
We let the type of work guide the collaboration style. This means we’re not always in an office, but we gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
