  • The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
  • A knack for Spring Boot that colleagues quietly come to rely on

  Pinterest is Pierre, SD's answer to a technology industry grown lazy, run by a bias-to-action team that still cares about Change Management. We measure VP of Engineering success by problems solved, not hours logged at your Pierre, SD desk.

  Our offer to you: $176,000 - $239,000, a mentor, a benefits suite, and the latitude to grow your GitHub Actions into something senior.
