About Pinterest Labs:
Meet the brainy side of Pinterest: Pinterest Labs. These folks are the mad scientists (in the best way) working on cutting-edge machine learning magic—stuff like computer vision, graph neural networks, multimodal learning, recommender systems, and more. Basically, if it involves AI and can make the user experience smarter, Labs is on it.
Right now, Labs is hiring for the Visual Modeling Team—the squad behind Pinterest Canvas, our in-house text-to-image generative model. Think inpainting, outpainting, and all the other cool visual wizardry. You’ll work with a goldmine of visual + text data to build models that don’t just sit pretty—they ship to production and supercharge Pinterest’s visual tools.
What You’ll Actually Do:
-
Prototype brand-new model architectures for Pinterest Canvas (yep, we’re talkin’ diffusion-based text-to-image models).
-
Dive into the latest AI research, brainstorm strategies with the team, and flex your creative ML brain.
-
Help build the training datasets—especially for RLHF, fine-tuning, and other fine-grain tasks.
-
Publish your work through conferences, papers, or blog posts so the world knows just how cool it is.
Who We’re Looking For:
-
Folks who live and breathe generative computer vision, ideally with experience in diffusion models.
-
2+ years of real-world CV experience.
-
M.S. or PhD in ML, CS, or something equally brainy.
-
Bonus points if you’ve got research publications under your belt.
Work Style:
-
No strict 9-to-5-in-the-office grind here. Show up in person 1–2 times per quarter for key collab moments. The rest? Remote-friendly.
Location/Relocation Info:
-
You can be based anywhere in the U.S. (Remote FTW.)
-
No relocation assistance—just FYI.
Compensation:
-
U.S.-based only: $129,818—$267,272 USD, plus potential equity.
-
Salary depends on your skills, location, and how much of a rockstar you are.
