About the Role

We're looking for a talented Software Engineer II to join our Web Platform Team. As a key member of the team, you will drive initiatives that empower developers to build modern, world-class web experiences for Pinners with high productivity, performance, and quality.

Responsibilities

Build the web platform that powers Pinterest.com for hundreds of millions of users - and the frameworks and tooling that empower hundreds of engineers to build it.

Improve foundational web architecture, DevEx, builds, CI/CD, and testing capabilities to help developers work more effectively.

Identify site-wide challenges; propose, test, and ship solutions.

Champion and drive large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that improve the Web platform.

Raise web stability, scalability, performance, and accessibility by implementing best-in-class web development standards.

Supercharge the web development lifecycle with AI agents: accelerating large-scale migrations, automating repetitive engineering tasks, and building agent-powered workflows that let developers ship faster with higher confidence.

Mentor team members and participate actively in technical design and code reviews and architectural decisions.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in Web development and a deep understanding of JavaScript, CSS, DOM, HTTP protocol and how the web works.

Expertise with technologies such as React, Redux (or other state management solutions), Relay, GraphQL, TypeScript, Jest and React Testing Library.

Good knowledge of build tools such as Webpack, Rspack, or Vite.

Familiarity with Node.js, server-side rendering techniques, and frameworks such as Next.js or Remix.

Track record of delivering large, cross-functional projects across multiple organizations and being a champion of developer experience, performance and quality.

Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams to make platform improvements, test functionality, and evangelize adoption of platform features.

Hands-on experience with AI coding agents (eg. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and a point of view on how to harness them for large-scale migrations, code generation, and developer workflow automation.

Love for Web and drive to keep up-to-date with new technologies, trends and best practices in client architecture.

Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent experience.

Relocation Statement

This position is not eligible for relocation assistance.

In-Office Requirement Statement

We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
