Job description

Picture a Python Developer role where Next.js expertise is the floor, not the ceiling, and Pinterest in Harrisonburg, VA is building exactly that. The shape of it is simple — bring 5 years and Angular, take home $73,000 - $114,000, and grow into whatever Pinterest builds next.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Prioritization and Cypress
• Design Flask APIs other Harrisonburg, VA teams will still thank you for next year
• Carry the MySQL platform work that makes Pinterest's next VA expansion boring
• Keep the Cypress build pipeline green so Harrisonburg deploys never wait on a red light
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Pull Pinterest's Angular stack out of the VA region before the migration deadline

What You'll Bring

• Hands-on proficiency with Next.js, ideally paired with MySQL
• A track record of wildly-collaborative delivery in a remote structure
• Working knowledge of Angular alongside transferable MySQL chops
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
• Practical Relationship Building skills sharpened in a remote setting
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
