Staff Software Engineer, Ads Measurement Products

Team & Mission

The Measurement Products team helps advertisers measure the incremental impact of their Pinterest campaigns and make informed investment decisions. We own and operate core measurement products including Pinterest Conversion Lift (PCL) Studies and Brand Lift Studies.

We build the platform these products run on and are evolving it into our nextgen Measurement Hub an extensible platform that enables faster product iteration onboarding of new study types and deeper integration with Pinterests enterprise data and experimentation systems. Our mission is to measure true incremental impact and translate it into actionable insights for advertisers and partners.

Role Summary

Were seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the architecture and technical direction of the measurement platform behind how advertisers understand the impact of their investment on Pinterest. Youll drive endtoend platform evolution (pipelines services correctness reliability) partner closely with Product and Data Science and raise the bar on rigor trust and operational excellence in ads measurement.

What youll do:

• Own endtoend architecture and delivery of features for lift measurement products from design and implementation through rollout and ongoing reliability.
• Design build and optimize largescale data pipelines that power study setup experiment execution and results computation.
• Drive AI enablement across the team by building the supporting tooling and processes (CI checks test strategy templates) coaching engineers and ensuring adoption results in sustained improvements to delivery speed and system quality.
• Translate measurement methodology into production systems: partner with Data Science to operationalize study design requirements into pipelines services tooling and guardrails.
• Build rigor by default mechanisms: automated data validation randomization/holdout integrity checks imbalance diagnostics and continuous verification/backtesting.
• Raise the bar on data quality and trust: define SLAs build monitoring and anomaly detection and lead rootcause analysis for pipeline and study issues.
• Mentor and up level engineers driving strong technical execution and crossfunctional collaboration.

What were looking for:

• BS in Computer Science (or related field) or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on dataintensive systems.
• Strong proficiency building and operating largescale data pipelines (batch and/or streaming) using Java/Scala/Kotlin or Python plus SQL.
• Experience designing reliable services and APIs with solid foundations in distributed systems data modeling and performance optimization.
• Demonstrated ability to transform a teams engineering workflow using AIfrom pilot to broad adoptionthrough tooling enablement and change leadership with clear metrics (cycle time defect rate on-call load incident rate).
• Experience in AdTech and measurement products (e.g. conversion lift brand lift) or adjacent experimentation/analytics platforms.
• Working knowledge of experimentation and causal measurement fundamentals (randomization holdouts confounders significance power).
• Practical experience with backtesting controlled rollouts and continuous verification for correctness in measurement/analytics systems.
• Demonstrated ability to lead large crossfunctional initiatives drive alignment and deliver measurable impact through technical leadership.
