What We're Looking For:

2–4 years of program or project management experience (or equivalent), ideally touching infrastructure, platform, or cloud environments.

Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or similar) — compute, storage, and basic usage/cost concepts.

Interest in, and some exposure to, capacity management and infrastructure efficiency (right-sizing, utilization, waste reduction); deep FinOps expertise is not required.

Strong organizational and execution skills: able to track a program's moving pieces, follow up, and keep things on schedule.

Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting status and asks to engineering partners.

Collaborative and coachable — works well with engineers and more senior TPMs, seeks input, and takes feedback well.

Experience at a large-scale consumer tech or infrastructure organization is a plus.

AI-first execution mindset: demonstrated ability to use GenAI to accelerate planning, program operations, and stakeholder communications—starting with AI drafts and applying strong judgment to validate, refine, and drive decisions.

Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate)

Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.

Preferred Qualifications

Direct exposure to a FinOps, cost management, or capacity-focused function (nice-to-have, not required).

Familiarity with dashboarding/BI tools (SuperSet, Tableau, Grafana, or similar).

Basic SQL or scripting skills to pull and interpret usage data.

Exposure to distributed systems, ML/AI infrastructure, or large-scale compute environments is a plus.

Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Join us and help shape the future of Pinterest's infrastructure!
