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. As you read through the expectations of the position, consider how your skills and experiences may complement the responsibilities of the role. We encourage you to think through your relevant and transferable skills from prior experiences.

Our new progressive work model is called PinFlex, a term that’s uniquely Pinterest to describe our flexible approach to living and working. Visit our PinFlex landing page to learn more.

Pinterest Design and the Design Innovation team are looking to expand its Prototyping Function. As a Prototyper, you will be working to shape both the future of Pinterest user experiences and the future of prototyping at Pinterest. In this role you will explore, prototype, build, and test concepts that will inform how people interact with Pinterest. You will work on a small, fast-paced agile team, collaborating with UX Designers, User Researchers, Product Managers and Engineers.

What you’ll do:

• Work closely with Researchers, Designers and Product Managers to develop functional, engaging, and flexible high-fidelity prototypes in support of concept and usability testing and demos
• Explore and identify potential prototyping solutions for concepts and technologies that don't already exist
• Clearly articulate design decisions to a vast set of internal stakeholders
• Support and engage in design thinking, brainstorming and concept creation
• Thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments

What we’re looking for:

Relocation Statement:

This position is not eligible for relocation assistance. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.

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/month and therefore can be situated anywhere in the country.
