At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI. 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. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here . As a Staff Software Engineer at Pinterest, you will help define and drive the technical direction of the web development layer that product engineers build with, so teams can ship features more quickly, reliably, and consistently. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about web architecture, developer experience, and building scalable foundations for product development. While this role will have a strong focus on data fetching, it will also contribute more broadly across the systems, frameworks, and best practices that enable product engineers to build high-quality web experiences at scale including code health and our design system. What you’ll do: • Define and drive technical direction for foundational web capabilities that product engineers use directly, with a primary focus on data fetching. • Assess the current ecosystem of frameworks, tooling, and patterns on the web client, and identify the highest-impact opportunities for improvement. • Lead platform investments that simplify development, reduce friction, and improve consistency across the product engineering experience. • Partner across product, platform, design, and infrastructure teams to align on scalable technical patterns and long-term architecture. • Shape the evolution of data fetching in our hybrid GraphQL/REST environment, while contributing more broadly to framework adoption, paved paths, and code health. • Establish best practices, reusable abstractions, and technical guidance that raise quality and improve maintainability across the web organization. • Mentor engineers and influence technical direction through architecture reviews, design discussions, and cross-team leadership. • Contribute to a high-scale web platform serving millions of users and enabling hundreds of engineers to build product experiences effectively. What we’re looking for: • 8+ years of web software engineering experience building, designing and evolving client-side data architecture in large-scale web applications. • Deep understanding of tradeoffs in caching, consistency, latency, reliability, and developer ergonomics in modern web clients. • Expert-level coding skills in languages like javascript or typescript (optional python), with ability to write production-quality code. • Knowledge on Node.js, server-side rendering techniques and GraphQL frameworks like Relay. • Strong experience working across both GraphQL and REST, with the technical judgment to define clear patterns
