The Responsible AI team is part of the Advanced Technologies Group (ATG), Pinterest's advanced machine learning team. ATG's goal is to keep Pinterest at the forefront of machine learning technology across multiple use cases including recommendations, ranking, content understanding, and more. It is an applied team that works horizontally across the company on state of the art AI and ML and works on directly bringing that technology to the product in collaboration with product engineering teams. The team also publishes its work in applied research conferences, but the main goal of the team is to have a direct impact on business metrics.

At Pinterest, the product is powered by state of the art ML algorithms which are used to understand billions of visually rich items on the platform and the interests of our 500M+ monthly active users to recommend personalized content. ML at Pinterest is multi-modal, utilizing image, text, and graph signals, and operates at a very large scale and often in real time interactive user experiences.

Pinterest is known for being a positive and inspirational place on the internet. The Responsible AI team is a horizontal team that collaborates across the company on initiatives including Generative AI alignment, evaluation, mitigations, ML Fairness, and user-facing features such as features to enhance the product for all users. This includes launching features like user-controllable skin tone, hair pattern search refinements, and more recently, body type.

What you'll do

• 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 (trust and safety, user modeling, content understanding) to leverage their platforms and signals and co-develop adoption and evaluation of Responsible AI practices and ML Fairness tooling across Pinterest.
• Mentor junior engineers on the Responsible AI team and across the company in the R-AI space.
• Work with the team and senior leaders to define and drive technical strategy in this area.
