About Pinterest:

Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It's where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you'll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You'll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.

Creating a life you love also means finding a career that celebrates the unique perspectives and experiences that you bring.

• Investigation Support: Serve as a key point of contact and final sign-off for resolution of data anomalies and inconsistencies. Collaborate with client engineers and data warehouse teams to drive investigations, identify potential root causes and define success metrics for these inquiries.
• Opportunity Sizing and Analysis: Write clear, actionable analyses that help teams identify areas of improvement to our metrics quality. For example, quantify how much user activity is underestimated due to networking issues, and suggest how addressing these can enhance overall metric accuracy.
• Data Controls: Develop and implement robust data quality checkers and alerts, ensuring they provide high signal without excess noise
• Streamline Communication: Partner with TPMs to ensure that quality issues and best practices are communicated effectively within the company. This includes enhancing key processes such as SOX compliance and ensuring ML teams have access to the best data available.
