Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Prototype state-of-the-art visual encoders and multimodal representations to power recommender systems and visual language models. Collaborate on generative strategies and mentor junior researchers while publishing findings in top ML conferences.
Requires an M.S. or PhD in Machine Learning or equivalent experience with a strong track record of research contributions or shipping ML models to production. Proficiency in PyTorch and experience with large-scale model training and multimodal representations are strongly preferred.
Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.
Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It’s Possible.
At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.
Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.
Within Pinterest, the Pinterest Labs organization focuses on applied ML research and development. Labs works across a broad variety of AI/ML initiatives—including core computer vision, multimodal representation learning, heterogeneous graph neural networks, generative modeling, and recommender systems. This is the group that develops the foundation ML models that fully leverage the tens of billions of Pins and the associated knowledge graph to improve the core product.
We are currently hiring for the Visual Modeling team in Labs, which develops Pinterest's in-house visual encoder. In this role, you'll work with Pinterest's rich visual-text dataset to train large-scale models from scratch that are continuously shipped to production to power visualization features. You'll build multimodal representations that power applications such as recommender systems, Semantic IDs, and a range of downstream ML models. The visual encoder also produces visual tokens that power our in-house VLM and composed image retrieval models. The core visual pod is a small group (~10 engineers) inside Labs, which allows for deep collaboration. For example, engineers working on multimodal representation also contribute to our internal text-to-image generation Canvas project—collaborating on autoencoder design or on reward function development for RL training.
