Sr. Technical Program Manager, Ads Delivery Infrastructure

Pinterest, San Francisco, CA +2

The team

Pinterest's Ads Delivery Infrastructure team builds and operates the real-time serving, indexing, retrieval, and budgeting systems that power Shopping and Ads at Pinterest. We're in the middle of a significant modernization effort: unifying our catalog and index platforms to scale to billions of items, moving core services onto our next-generation compute platform, and re-architecting our budgeting systems for real-time accuracy. We work closely with engineering, product, and monetization teams to keep Pinterest's advertising systems fast, reliable, and ready to scale.

What you will do

Lead or support programs that scale Pinterest's Shopping and Ads catalog, indexing, and retrieval systems to handle billions of items, partnering with engineering leads across catalog, search infrastructure, and retrieval.

What you need

5+ years of TPM/Product Ownership experience leading complex, cross-functional technical programs, ideally within large-scale distributed systems, search/retrieval, or ads/monetization infrastructure.
Solid understanding of the principles behind large-scale serving, indexing, or retrieval systems, and the tradeoffs involved in scaling them.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience building dashboards, interpreting data, and using insights to drive decisions.
Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of partnering with senior engineering and business stakeholders in high-visibility settings.
Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities across a fast-moving, multi-workstream roadmap.
Experience with ads, monetization, or data infrastructure is a plus; willingness to learn and grow across domains is essential.
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.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field or equivalent experience.

Join us and help scale the infrastructure behind Pinterest's Shopping and Ads business!
