Master's University Grad Machine Learning Engineer 2026 (USA)

With more than 550 million users around the world and 300 billion ideas saved, Pinterest Machine Learning engineers help build personalized experiences to help Pinners create a life they love. With just over 3,000 global employees, our teams are small, mighty, and still growing. At Pinterest, you’ll experience hands-on access to an incredible vault of data and contribute large-scale recommendation systems in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

By applying to this role, you will be considered for multiple roles open across our various ML teams. Please only apply once within the USA or Canada as multiple applications may delay our recruitment process.

This is a general posting for multiple roles open across our various ML teams. You will have the opportunity to work on a very large scope of problems in recommender systems, search, ads, ranking, natural language processing, graph representation learning, personalization, etc.

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Pinterest, you’ll work on tackling new challenges in machine learning and artificial intelligence. As you kickstart your career at Pinterest, you’ll join our engineering teams as we maneuver through exponential growth and massive scale while building awesome products and features, creating visually rich experiences, spearheading the discovery problem, and pinpointing tomorrow’s engineering challenges. 

What you’ll do:

• Contribute to cutting-edge research in machine learning and artificial intelligence that can be applied to Pinterest problems
• Collect, analyze, and synthesize findings from data and build intelligent data-driven model
• 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 our 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

What we’re looking for:

• Master's in Computer Science, ML, NLP, Statistics, Information Sciences or related field required
• Machine Learning experience (ranking, computer vision, NLP, content recommendations, embedding, information retrieval etc)
• Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop/Spark) and scalable realtime systems that process stream data
•  Mastery of at least one systems languages (Java, C++, Python) or one ML framework (Tensorflow, Pytorch, MLFlow)
• Cross-functional collaborator and strong communicator
• Comfortable solving ambiguous problems and adapting to a dynamic environment
• Experience in research and in solving analytical problems

In-Office Requirement Statement:

• We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we’re not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection
• 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.
