Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we're on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product. Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other's unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It's Possible. Within Pinterest, the Pinterest Labs organization focuses on applied ML research and development. Labs focuses on a broad variety of AI/ML initiatives, such as core computer vision, multimodal representation learning, heterogeneous graph neural networks, generative modeling, recommender systems, etc. This is the group that develops foundation ML models that fully leverage the tens of billions of Pins and the associated knowledge graph to improve the core product. We are currently hiring for the visual modeling team in Labs, which focuses on developing Pinterest Canvas. Canvas is a foundation text-to-image model developed internally for helping various visualization, inpainting, and outpainting products. In this role, you'll get to work with Pinterest's rich visual-text dataset to build large-scale generative models which are continuously being shipped to production to power visualization features. The core Canvas pod is a small group (~6 engineers along with a product prototyping team) inside of Labs, allowing for deep collaboration. For example, engineers working on the Canvas project also participate in the development of our core multimodal text & image embeddings, as these are in turn used to condition the model in unique ways.

  • Prototype new model architectures for Pinterest Canvas, our internal text-to-image generative model.
  • Read research papers, participate in group discussions, and help brainstorm our overall visual generative strategy at the company.
  • Help with collection of relevant visual training data for Pinterest Canvas, particularly to conduct RLHF, targeted fine-tuning, etc.
  • Publish and publicize your work via conferences, paper submissions, blog posts, etc.
  • Mentor more junior researchers or research interns within the Pinterest Labs organization.
  • Research engineers and scientists who have experience working with generative computer vision models, preferably various forms of diffusion models.
  • 5+ years of industry computer vision experience.
  • M.S. or PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related areas.
  • Publications at top ML conferences.
  • Base salary range: $150,713-$310,291 USD
