Job description

Position Overview

We are looking for inquisitive, well‑rounded iOS engineers to join our Platform / Product 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’ll build robust frameworks and features, empower developers and users alike, and have the opportunity to find creative solutions to thought‑provoking problems. Because we value courageous thinking, you’ll be invited to create and drive new initiatives from inception through to technical design, implementation, and release.

What you’ll do

• Build out Pinner‑facing frontend features in iOS to power the future of inspiration on Pinterest
• Contribute to and lead each step of the product development process, from ideation to implementation to release; from rapidly prototyping, running A/B tests, to architecting and building solutions that can scale to support millions of users
• Partner with design, product, and backend teams to build end‑to‑end functionality
• Put on your Pinner hat to suggest new product ideas and features
• Employ automated testing to build features with a high degree of technical quality, taking responsibility for the components and features you develop
• Grow as an engineer 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

• Deep understanding of iOS development and best practices in Objective‑C and/or Swift, e.g., xCode, app states, memory management, etc.
• 2+ years of industry iOS application development experience, building consumer or business‑facing products
• Experience in following best practices in writing reliable and maintainable code that may be used by many other engineers
• Ability to keep up‑to‑date with new technologies to understand what should be incorporated
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated ability to use AI to improve speed and quality in 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

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 per half and therefore can be situated anywhere in Ontario.
