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
• Take proactive ownership over the completion and quality of your tasks and project with minimal guidance from your mentor, manager, and peers.
