Description

  • Design and execute system-level measurement frameworks for foundational model improvements across offline benchmarks, online A/B experiments, and longitudinal tracking.
  • Define and own success metrics that quantify the value of foundational models.
  • Build causal inference methods to isolate the incremental impact of individual model components in a complex multi-model production system.
  • Partner cross-functionally with ML Engineers, Applied Scientists, Product Managers, ML Platform engineers, and Homefeed and Surface teams to embed measurement rigor in model launches.
  • Communicate key findings clearly and proactively to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including leadership.
  • Develop a deep understanding of Pinterest’s recommendation ecosystem across representation learning, retrieval, ranking, and reinforcement learning.
  • Use measurement insights to sharpen investment decisions, improve launch criteria, accelerate experimentation, and identify inefficiencies in the model ecosystem.

  • Experience applying scientific methods to solve real-world problems on web-scale data.
  • Hands-on experience in one or more of the following: ML system evaluation, recommender system measurement, A/B experimentation at scale, or causal inference.
  • Deep familiarity with large-scale recommendation or ranking systems and how representation learning, retrieval, ranking, and re-ranking stages interact in production.
  • Experience designing and executing A/B experiments for complex ML systems, including multi-surface holdouts, metric decomposition, long-run effect estimation, and interference/spillover mitigation.
  • Strong quantitative programming skills in Python and data manipulation skills in SQL/Spark.
  • Experience with ML pipelines, feature stores, and large-scale experimentation platforms.
  • Ability to work independently, drive ambiguous projects end-to-end, and operate with high ownership in a fast-moving research-to-production environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to partner across teams.
  • This position is not eligible for relocation assistance.
