The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Pinterest is hiring a Site Reliability Engineer in Hattiesburg, MS.

• Role description

  You can write Amazon ECS that works or PagerDuty that lasts; our Site Reliability Engineer role at Pinterest is for engineers who insist on both. The proposition holds together — $89,000 - $127,000, 5 years, a MS base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Document the Emotional Intelligence system so the next senior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
  • Map data flow across Pinterest's PagerDuty services and spot the leaks
  • Wire Emotional Intelligence APIs to Elasticsearch consumers so data lands where Hattiesburg teams expect it
  • Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using AWS Lambda and Elasticsearch
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Pinterest

  What You'll Bring

  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
  • The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
  • Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
  • Willingness to commute to Hattiesburg, MS or work flexibly as needed

  A gloriously-unglamorous startup out of Hattiesburg, Pinterest is rethinking what technology software can be. Disagreement is welcome here, but once we decide, the whole Pinterest team rows in the same direction.

  Beyond $89,000 - $127,000, Pinterest invests in your growth, assigns you a mentor, and lets you flex hours across Hattiesburg, MS as you need.
