About Pinterest Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It’s possible.

At Pinterest, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.

Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.

We are looking for inquisitive, well‑rounded Android engineers to join our platform Engineering teams. Working closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers, you’ll play an important role in enabling the newest technologies and experiences. You will build robust frameworks and features, empower both developers and Pinners alike, and find creative solutions to thought‑provoking problems. You’ll also be invited to create and drive new initiatives, seeing them from inception through to technical design, implementation, and release.

What You’ll Do

Support millions of users and enable colleagues by ensuring excellence in core pieces that are shared throughout the application

Identify app‑wide challenges; propose, test, and ship solutions





Drive changes that improve the entire app such as modularization, implementing image/video loading, RTL text, dependency injection, and reusable UI components

Enable developers to work more effectively by improving app architecture, testing capabilities and release cycles

Solve hard‑to‑see user pain points that often affect the entire app such as performance, monitoring crash rates and solving user metric anomalies

Grow as a developer by working with world‑class peers on varied and high impact projects

Leverage AI to seek faster execution (e.g., draft, prototype, outline) and explore alternative options (e.g., iterate, compare approaches)

Leverage AI to synthesize information (summarize, distill themes) and automate repeatable tasks (documentation, reporting, QA checks)

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Deep understanding of Android development and best practices in Kotlin and/or Java, e.g., Activity Lifecycle, memory management, etc.

4+ years of industry Android application development experience, building consumer or business‑facing products.

Experience following best practices in writing reliable and maintainable code that may be used by many other engineers.

Ability to keep up‑to‑date with recent technologies to understand what should be incorporated.

Strong collaboration and communication skills.

Demonstrated ability to use AI to improve speed and quality in your day‑to‑day workflow for relevant outputs.





Strong track record of critical evaluation and verification of AI‑assisted work (e.g., testing, source checking, data validation, peer review).

High integrity and ownership: you protect sensitive data, avoid over‑reliance on AI, and remain accountable for final decisions and deliverables.

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 will need to be in the office for in‑person collaboration 1‑2 times per quarter and therefore can be situated anywhere within a commutable distance to the Toronto office (85 Richmond St. W).

Relocation Statement

This position is not eligible for relocation assistance and candidates that apply should be based and legally authorized to work in Canada. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.
