What you’ll do
- Design and maintain scalable backend systems (distributed services, microservices, batch pipelines) using Java, Python, and SparkSQL, while building React frontends and APIs to enhance conversion adoption.
- Collaborate with product, design, and user research teams to create technical solutions that improve conversion tracking and measurement for advertisers.
- Lead cross-organizational initiatives to tailor conversion requirements, optimize performance, and maximize conversion data utilization for specific use cases.
- Drive technical innovation, contribute to the pod’s technical vision, and mentor engineers to elevate team capabilities and align with company objectives.
- Ensure privacy-preserving practices while connecting Pinterest onsite activity with offsite conversions (digital and physical).
What we’re looking for:
- 7+ years of software engineering experience in distributed systems and full-stack development, with 2+ years of tech lead experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Expertise in backend development (Java, Python, SparkSQL) and frontend development (React, APIs), with strong data analysis skills using MySQL and Presto.
- Proven leadership in delivering high-impact projects aligned with pod OKRs and company metrics, using a product-focused and data-driven approach.
- Strong collaboration skills to align technical solutions with business goals and mentor team members through feedback, code reviews, and one-on-ones.
