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.

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.

What you’ll do:

• Design product experiences—systematically, interactively, and visually—with a high bar for craft and consistency across the Pinterest product ecosystem.
• Partner with Design Innovation teammates and cross-functional partners to evolve our product design language and bring it to life in key product surfaces and features.
• Explore and prototype new interaction patterns and end-to-end flows that make Pinterest feel more modern, memorable, and uniquely “Pinterest.”
• Use AI tools to accelerate parts of your workflow—from early concept exploration and competitive/visual research to generating variations, content, and structured design artifacts—while validating outputs for quality, alignment with our brand, and user needs.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product management, and research to develop impactful, user-centric, and data-informed solutions; work with engineers throughout implementation to ensure high-quality execution.
• Incorporate insights from qualitative and quantitative research, experiments, and marketplace/AI trends to refine design directions and identify new opportunities for innovation.
• Contribute to design reviews and critique, helping to uphold and inspire a high level of design execution and inclusive, accessible experiences across the team.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience designing for consumer products, with strong visual and interaction design skills demonstrated in a portfolio of shipped or in-progress work.
• Ability to design within and extend a design system, balancing consistency with thoughtful innovation across surfaces and platforms.
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools (such as LLMs or design/creative AI tools) to augment your design workflow—for example, to explore concepts, structure.
