Intro: Pinterest is looking for an experienced and highly technical Technical Program Manager to join the Advanced Technology Group (Advanced Technology Group), a research‑driven engineering organization focused on advancing Pinterest’s ML/AI and infrastructure capabilities. This individual will drive cross‑cutting programs that span ML research, applied science, infra, and product integration, partnering closely with engineering, research, product, data science, and other TPMs. You’ll operate across multiple domains and paces — from long‑term research explorations to fast‑moving, high‑impact production launches — and help ensure Advanced Technology Group’s work translates into reliable, scalable systems that power the Pinterest experience.   What you’ll do: * Own and drive end‑to‑end technical programs across Advanced Technology Group, from problem definition and design through execution, launch, and iteration. * Coordinate work across ML/AI research, infra, and product engineering teams, aligning on goals, milestones, and success metrics. * Design and run operating rhythms (e.g., planning, reviews, launch readiness, post‑mortems) that give clarity and focus during periods of heavy change or high stakes. * Partner with engineering and research leads to evaluate technical designs and trade‑offs, surface risks early, and drive decisions that balance long‑term investments with short‑term impact. * Manage experimentation and evaluation workflows (offline and online), bringing clarity to results and driving decisions on whether to scale, iterate, or stop. * Build and improve tools, processes, and communication mechanisms that help Advanced Technology Group operate effectively across multiple teams, time horizons, and technical stacks. * Use data and metrics to track program health, identify bottlenecks, and proactively adjust scope and plans. * Communicate program status, risks, and decisions clearly to senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders, tailoring the level of technical detail to the audience. What we’re looking for:  * BS in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics) or equivalent practical experience (5+ years in a hands‑on technical role). * 3+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, or equivalent experience in technical leadership roles driving complex, multi‑team initiatives. * Demonstrated experience working closely with ML/AI and/or infra engineering teams, with the ability to deeply understand system architectures, data flows, and model/infra trade‑offs. * Ability to use program management tools [Google Sheets, Jira etc] and the ability to use AI tooling to create automated tracking and reporting solutions is a must. * Strong technical breadth and judgment, with the ability to quickly ramp up on new technologies, identify technical risks, and facilitate high‑quality technical decisions. * Experience leading large, cross‑functional programs from inception through launch, including setting scope, managing dependencies, and aligning multiple stakeholders. * Comfort operating in fast‑changing, high‑ambiguity environments, including research‑heavy or platform‑oriented teams. * Proficiency with SQL to analyze data, create dashboards, and inform decisions. * Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences, in writing and verbally. * Strong relationship‑building and influence skills, with a track record of collaborating effectively across Engineering, Research, Product, and Data Science. * Experience building or evolving processes and operating rhythms for technical teams (e.g., planning, reviews, launch processes) is a plus.
