Pinterest Sr. Technical Support Engineer at Pinterest owns vision and requirements for ads delivery system capabilities. The role involves translating problem statements into business and technical requirements and coordinating roadmap and launches.
Responsibilities
Own a vision for new and existing capabilities that help match the right ad to the right Pinner at the right time, and translate problem statements into clear business and technical requirements through focused business requirements documents (BRDs) and product requirement documents (PRDs), including epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria, for your area. Create and maintain a clear, prioritized roadmap and requirements backlog, track requirement status from discovery through GA, and ensure traceability from business goals to shipped features. Plan and deliver a sequenced roadmap, aligning with partner teams on architecture, guardrails, and experimentation so launches drive measurable advertiser and Pinner outcomes. Coordinate changes to well-defined components within back-end ads delivery systems (e.g., parts of retrieval, ranking, pacing/budgeting, auction/bidding, quality/diversity guardrails, conversion visibility, forecasting, modeling, or measurement) to meet product requirements.
Partner day-to-day with engineering, ML, data science/analytics, design, and research to deliver high-quality features; collaborate with PMM, sales, and policy/integrity as needed for launches. Work closely with PM peers across Ads Quality (e.g., retrieval, ranking, pacing/budgeting, measurement/incrementality, integrity) and with PMs on front-end presentation/components (e.g., modules, formats, surfaces) to manage dependencies, define APIs/contracts for your area, align on experiment design and guardrails, and coordinate GTM and feedback loops. Facilitate roadmap and requirements reviews, keep shared artifacts (roadmap, PRDs, dependency trackers) up to date, and proactively surface risks, decisions, and changes.
Build features within our ads bidding and optimization solutions that help advertisers clearly express objectives and align budgets to their business needs, while maintaining a safe, delightful Pinner experience. Deliver scoped improvements from discovery through launch and adoption, instrumenting metrics, writing documentation, and incorporating learnings into subsequent iterations. Define success metrics and acceptance criteria up front, track requirement completion and quality signals post-launch, and use insights to update the roadmap and next set of requirements.
