The Platforms TPM organization partners with Experimentation, ML, LLM/GenAI, and Data Infrastructure teams to shape how Pinterest measures everything that matters — from product experiments to AI systems to the platforms everyone builds on.
What you'll do:
- As a Staff Technical Program Manager for Measurement, you'll have the rare opportunity to shape how a company the size of Pinterest measures itself — turning a portfolio spanning experimentation, machine learning, generative AI, and data infrastructure into one coherent, high-impact program.
- Drive Pinterest's experimentation roadmap — accelerating how confidently and quickly teams can test, learn, and ship new ideas at scale.
- Own the program driving cost and compute efficiency across our ML systems, and help scale data science workflows into production-grade tooling.
- Lead cost optimization and evaluation for our LLM and GenAI systems — building the measurement backbone that keeps them fast, affordable, and trustworthy.
- Own Presto query optimization and support for our analytics agent, keeping the data infrastructure that powers company-wide decisions fast and reliable.
- Own measurement of GenAI-driven productivity and evaluation frameworks for coding models — helping quantify the impact of AI on how we build.
- Own cost attribution and usage understanding across shared infrastructure, bringing clarity to how the company invests in its platforms.
- Own measurement and understanding of Shopping infrastructure, helping the team see clearly where to invest next.
- Build repeatable prioritization frameworks that let the team move fast and confidently across a wide, fast-changing portfolio.
- Build transparent communication channels that keep leadership and partner teams aligned on status, risk, and impact.
- Mentor others and help set the standard for what great measurement program management looks like at Pinterest.
What we're looking for:
- 5+ years of experience as a technical program manager, ideally driving broad, high-visibility portfolios.
- A track record of building order out of ambiguity — leading complex, multi-team initiatives from the ground up.
- Strong instincts for, or hunger to quickly learn, experimentation platforms, ML systems, LLM infrastructure, or data platforms.
- A sharp sense for prioritization — comfortable making confident calls across competing initiatives with incomplete information.
- Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a bias toward pragmatic, creative solutions.
- A track record of earning trust with executive leadership and representing your program's interests at the highest levels.
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills — you know how to bring people along.
- A genuine commitment to inclusion, sound judgment under pressure, and courageous, resilient leadership.
- B.S degree in a technical field or a equivalent work experience
