What you’ll do:Drive the modeling strategy for content understanding (vision, NLP, multimodal), encompassing architecture selection, training methodologies, and evaluation techniques. Design and deploy production models that generate content signals such as embeddings and classifications utilized across various product surfaces. Oversee the complete ML lifecycle: data/labeling strategy (human labels + weak supervision), training pipelines, offline evaluation, online experimentation, deployment, and monitoring/retraining. Collaborate with infrastructure and platform teams to ensure scalable and reliable training/serving (latency, cost, observability, rollout safety). Work closely with signal-consuming teams (ranking, retrieval, integrity, ads) to define signal contracts, adoption patterns, and success metrics. Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and elevating the quality of modeling and ML engineering practices.

About the job

About Pinterest:

At Pinterest, we believe in the power of inspiration. Our platform is a hub for creativity, where millions around the globe come to explore ideas, envision possibilities, and curate memories that last a lifetime. We are dedicated to empowering individuals to create a life they love, and this mission is driven by the talented people behind our innovative product.

Join us in a career that ignites your creativity, transforms your passion into growth opportunities, and fosters an environment of support and unique experiences. Embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love is not just a dream—it's possible with us.

The Content Understanding team is at the forefront of developing machine learning models that interpret Pinterest content—spanning images, text, and video—to generate high-quality semantic signals (such as embeddings, localization, and quality/safety labels). These signals enhance relevance and retrieval for Homefeed, Search, Related Pins, and Ads, while also supporting integrity initiatives like spam and low-quality content detection. We operate end-to-end, from data and labeling strategy to model training, evaluation, and low-latency serving, all at Pinterest scale. This role is perfect for a senior modeler who thrives on developing and productionizing models and leading technical direction across teams.
