• Re-architect core catalog, ads indexing and serving infrastructure to achieve greater scalability, freshness, performance, and reliability, using data storage, streaming processing, and information retrieval technologies such as MySQL, TiDB, Flink, and HNSW.
• Modernize the ML ecosystem for the entire Pinterest Ads product, replacing a hodgepodge of out-of-date ML stack with a unified, modern, and privacy-first ML stack with Pytorch, Spark, Iceberg, and GPU based serving.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define problems and drive solutions.
• Work with a strong team of engineers and provide technical guidance and mentorship.
  What we're looking for:
  
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience with distributed systems, transactional datastores, and systems programming.
