About The Position

At Pinterest, we're on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love. We are looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of an AI-first company. 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. This role will focus on infrastructure, capacity, and efficiency.

Requirements

2–4 years of program or project management experience (or equivalent), ideally touching infrastructure, platform, or cloud environments.
Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or similar) — compute, storage, and basic usage/cost concepts.
Interest in, and some exposure to, capacity management and infrastructure efficiency (right-sizing, utilization, waste reduction); deep FinOps expertise is not required.
Strong organizational and execution skills.
Clear written and verbal communication.
Collaborative and coachable.
AI-first execution mindset: demonstrated ability to use GenAI to accelerate planning, program operations, and stakeholder communications—starting with AI drafts and applying strong judgment to validate, refine, and drive decisions.
Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate).
Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.

Nice To Haves

Experience at a large-scale consumer tech or infrastructure organization is a plus.
Direct exposure to a FinOps, cost management, or capacity-focused function (nice-to-have, not required).
Familiarity with dashboarding/BI tools (SuperSet, Tableau, Grafana, or similar).
Basic SQL or scripting skills to pull and interpret usage data.
Exposure to distributed systems, ML/AI infrastructure, or large-scale compute environments is a plus.
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

Track a program's moving pieces, follow up, and keep things on schedule.
Present status and asks to engineering partners.
Work with engineers and more senior TPMs, seek input, and take feedback well.
Use GenAI to accelerate planning, program operations, and stakeholder communications.
Turn repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms.
Improve decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate).
Operate within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability).
Proactively identify where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.
