Who you are
We’re looking for inquisitive, collaborative university grads to join our engineering teams. Working closely with mentors and product, design, data, and back‑end engineers, you’ll learn how large‑scale systems operate and play a meaningful role in building new technologies, features, and tools
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, expected by June 2027
Must be available to start full-time between January 2027 and September 2027
At least one year of programming experience through internships, research, coursework, teaching, personal projects, open source, or hackathons
Familiarity using AI as a learning, productivity, and engineering tool, and as an iterative coding partner, to accelerate engineering work while exercising strong judgment around accuracy, security, and when to ask for help
Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and software design
Experience with one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or C++, and familiarity with relevant frameworks, tools, or technologies such as React or similar. Technical requirements vary by team
Previous software engineering internship experience strongly preferred
Strong communication skills and product sense
Passion for Pinterest, comfort with ambiguity, and a growth mindset with a willingness to continuously learn
What the job involves
Expect real projects, supportive teammates, and plenty of opportunities to explore ideas that make a difference for our teams and Pinners
Deliver code that is well-documented, tested, and operable
Execute scoped technical tasks end-to-end to help build the future of Pinterest
Take ownership of the completion, quality, and maintainability of your tasks and projects
Leverage AI tools in your daily engineering workflow to accelerate delivery—brainstorming approaches, writing and refining code, and producing clear documentation
Collaborate with teammates and cross-functional partners to build products, systems, and tools that support Pinterest
Proactively communicate ideas and perspectives with candor, and continue growing professionally through feedback, learning, and development opportunities
Contribute to engineering work across backend, full stack, mobile, web, and security domains, depending on team
