Description

We're looking for an engineering intern to help us build and scale Pinterest. You'll work alongside our engineers to develop your very own project that impacts millions of pinners. You should be a thoughtful and efficient problem solver, and love working across the stack - ours includes Python, HIVE, MySQL, Java, Javascript, Redis, Solr, and Hadoop.
Some examples of previous pintern projects:
  • Jeff pitched price drop notifications during our Make-a-thon. He shipped it ten weeks later, and now pinners get emails when products they've pinned drop in price.
  • Kasey created a system metrics dashboard that processes all requests in real-time.
  • Jared pushed a distributed tracing tool that helps us identify and fix the greatest sources of latency.
  • Sarah, JJ, and Ken rewrote our entire mobile website from scratch.  
  • Victor implemented aesthetic image analysis to automatically hide low-quality pins.
Responsibilities
  • Write clean code
  • Come up with efficient and creative algorithms for complex problems
  • Contribute and implement new features from scratch
  • Independently manage your project and know when to ask for guidance
Requirements
  • Interest in learning new programming languages and technologies
  • Familiarity with Python, Javascript, and Java
  • Desire to enhance the pinner experience
  • Previous industry experience is a plus
This is a summer 2015 internship in San Francisco. When you apply, feel free to link to any things you’ve built.
