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're building a new capability at Pinterest: embedding AI-native engineering directly inside our business functions. The AI Solutions Engineer will partner with teams across Marketing, Finance, Sales, HR, Legal, and other functions to surface high-value automation opportunities, then design and ship the AI-powered tools that bring those opportunities to life. This is a hands-on, mid-level software engineering role for someone who is equally comfortable reading a business process flowchart and writing production-grade Python. You'll work end-to-end — from discovery and scoping through prototyping, launch, and iteration — using the latest agentic frameworks, tool-calling patterns, and responsible AI practices. What you'll do: Discover and scope AI opportunities : Partner with internal teams across corporate functions to understand their workflows, pain points, and goals, and identify high‑value AI/automation opportunities. Map and improve business processes: document current workflows, identify bottlenecks, and propose AI‑enabled changes that deliver clear business outcomes (e.g., time or cost savings, improved quality or compliance). Design end-to-end AI solutions : Design and implement AI‑enabled tools and workflows that integrate with existing systems and data sources, and that are intuitive for non‑technical users. Build and ship production-quality software : Write clean, maintainable code and tests. Use standard CI/CD and environment practices. Implement logging, monitoring, and basic guardrails so we can understand and improve performance, quality, cost, and reliability over time. Pilot, rollout, and drive adoption : Pilot, roll out, and drive adoption of solutions by working closely with end‑users, gathering feedback, and iterating based on real‑world usage. Champion for responsible AI : Ensure solutions follow privacy, security, and compliance expectations, especially when working with sensitive or regulated data. Build for reuse : Create and share reusable patterns, components, and documentation to make future AI/automation work faster and more consistent across teams. Accelerate Workflows with Generative AI and Automation: Leverage AI to accelerate execution (e.g., draft, prototype, outline), explore alternative solutions using AI (iterate, compare approaches), synthesize information with AI (summarize, distill key themes), automate repeatable work (documentation, reporting, QA checks) What we're looking for: We're looking for mid-level engineers who have already shipped something real with AI — and who can work as a peer with non-technical business partners, not just as an order-taker. Specifically, you bring: Software engineering foundation. A CS, Engineering, Data Science, or related degree (or equivalent experience), with demonstrated ability to build and operate production systems — backend service
