Description

We're looking for a software engineer who's eager to get deep in the code to help scale Pinterest. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, and be a thoughtful and efficient problem solver. You should also love working across the stack - ours includes Python, HIVE, MySQL, Java, Javascript, Redis, Solr, and Hadoop.
To give you a sense of the type of stuff you could be doing, here are some projects our interns did over the summer:
  • 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 to and implement new features from scratch
Requirements
  • Familiarity with Python, Javascript, and Java
  • Desire to enhance the pinner experience
  • Previous work experience (2+ internships or relevant experience)
This is a full-time position in San Francisco and we accept applications year-round. Feel free to link to any things you’ve built.
