About The Position

Pinecone is seeking a product-focused full-stack engineer for its Experience Platform team. The role focuses on creating transparent, accurate, and trustworthy product experiences, including cost metrics, spending alerts, usage dashboards, billing, management, and authentication interfaces. The engineer will own work across APIs, SDKs, and web interfaces, partnering with product, design, finance, and other engineering teams to translate user and business needs into scalable technical solutions. The position calls for autonomy, sound technical judgment, and care in building systems customers rely on, while moving quickly to support Pinecone's growth. The engineer will also use AI-assisted development tools and help establish effective practices for the team.

• Proven ability to design and deliver APIs for a rapidly scaling product surface.
• Proficiency building web interfaces with React or a similar framework.

• Experience with queueing and streaming technologies such as Kafka, Kinesis, or Pub/Sub.

Responsibilities

• Influence product rollouts, propose and build features, and advocate for experiences that build customer confidence.
• Ship end-to-end experiences across APIs, SDKs, and the web, owning the surface from the HTTP layer through the user interface.
• Own integrations with billing systems and vendor APIs, designing for outages, schema drift, and inconsistent data.
• Create observable and auditable systems with monitoring, alerting, and verification mechanisms.
• Use AI-assisted development tools and help establish team practices that enable a small team to move quickly.
• Partner with finance, product, and design to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions and challenge unsuitable abstractions.
