Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You’ll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.

The Content Quality team builds large-scale content processing systems that utilize machine learning signals to select the highest quality content to distribute to pinners. This team touches nearly every piece of content that comes into Pinterest and creates and distributes signals that drive impact across our suite of consumer or ads products. To scale our systems we leverage Spark, Flink, and low-latency model serving infrastructure.
