• 3+ years experience leading cross-team engineering efforts.
• MS/PhD in Computer Science, ML, NLP, Statistics, Information Sciences, related field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience in working on backend and ML systems for large-scale user-facing products, and have a good understanding of how they all work.
• Experience in closely collaborating with other engineering teams to ship ML technologies to improve fairness and reduce bias for recommendation, content understanding, and ranking systems at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Lead projects in the responsible AI frontier, to identify, avoid, and mitigate bias across a wide range of ML applications at Pinterest including generative AI.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams (infra. user modeling, content understanding) to leverage their platforms and signals and work with them to collaborate on the adoption and evaluation of Inclusive AI and ML Fairness tooling across Pinterest.
• Mentor junior engineers on the Inclusive AI team and across the company on the Inclusive AI / ML Fairness space.
• Work with the team and senior leaders at the company to define and drive technical strategy in this area.
