Master's University Grad Machine Learning Engineer 2027

About the Role

At Pinterest, AI is a powerful partner that augments creativity and amplifies impact. This role is for candidates excited to be part of that. You will be considered for multiple roles open across various ML teams, working on large-scale recommendation systems.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to cutting-edge research in machine learning and artificial intelligence applicable to Pinterest problems.
• Collect, analyze, and synthesize findings from data and build intelligent data-driven models.
• Write clean, efficient, and sustainable code.
• Use machine learning, natural language processing, and graph analysis to solve modeling and ranking problems across discovery, ads, and search.
• Design, build, and test models to predict engagement for notifications (push, emails, in-app notifications).
• Build content recommendation systems to power push, email, and in-app notifications.
• Work on state-of-the-art large-scale applied machine learning projects.
• Scope and independently solve moderately complex problems.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Master's degree in Computer Science, ML, NLP, Statistics, Information Sciences, or a related field.
• Machine Learning experience (ranking, computer vision, NLP, content recommendations, embedding, information retrieval).
• Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop/Spark) and scalable real-time systems that process stream data.
• Mastery of at least one systems language (Java, C++, Python) or one ML framework (Tensorflow, Pytorch, MLFlow).
• Proficiency with AI-native engineering, including the design of agent-friendly codebases.
• High degree of autonomy in learning new agent-first development tools.
• Strong critical thinking when working with AI-generated suggestions, with a clear approach to validating correctness, performance, security, and maintainability.
• Comfort iterating on prompts, refining workflows, and adapting AI-assisted approaches based on the problem, context, and constraints.
• Experience in research and in solving analytical problems.
• Strong communicator and team player.
• Ability to find solutions for open-ended problems.

In-Office Requirement

• This role may require you to be located near an office for in-person collaboration and therefore may need to be located a commutable distance from one of our Pinterest offices.
