Technical Program Manager II, Shopping Platforms

Engineering Operations via Vibe Coding

Pinterest is seeking a Technical Program Manager to oversee the critical infrastructure powering their global shopping and advertising platforms. This role moves beyond traditional project management by requiring a 'GenAI-first' mindset. You will be responsible for driving the development of catalog and indexing systems while using AI coding assistants to build the very tools you use to track progress. By leveraging 'vibe coding'—writing code through natural language and AI tools—you will transform manual status tracking and data analysis into automated, intelligent workflows.

Tech Stack & AI Integration

In this position, you will navigate complex distributed systems, including streaming pipelines and large-scale data indexing. The ideal candidate isn't just familiar with AI; they use it as their primary operating model to:

• Prototype internal tools using AI coding assistants to solve workflow bottlenecks.
• Automate program artifacts like risk assessments and dependency tracking through sophisticated prompting.
• Design AI-first mechanisms for intake and decision-making, ensuring that technical programs scale without increasing manual toil.

Growth and AI Governance

This is a unique opportunity to define the future of AI-assisted technical leadership at a major tech firm. You will balance rapid prototyping with 'safety-by-design' principles, ensuring that AI-generated outputs are validated and secure. If you are a technical leader who prefers architecting solutions through AI rather than manual execution, this role offers a platform to scale Pinterest’s shopping engine while setting the standard for modern, AI-augmented program management.
