You’re comfortable working in an iterative, experimental environment and using AI tools to accelerate your workflow while maintaining strong critical thinking, judgment, and ownership of outcomes.   What you’ll do: * Design product experiences—systematically, interactively, and visually—with a high bar for craft and consistency across the Pinterest product ecosystem. * Partner with Design Innovation teammates and cross-functional partners to evolve our product design language and bring it to life in key product surfaces and features. * Uphold and Elevate Craft: Conduct quality audits, review flows and handoffs, and directly contribute hands-on design when needed—always advocating for the highest standards.  * Prototype & Technologize: Rapidly visualize, prototype, validate new ideas; translate abstract solutions into practical, scalable patterns using Figma, code, AI, or whatever is needed to inspire clarity/adoption. * Collaborate closely with engineering, product management, and research to develop impactful, user-centric, and data-informed solutions; work with engineers throughout implementation to ensure high-quality execution. * Incorporate insights from qualitative and quantitative research, experiments, and marketplace/AI trends to refine design directions and identify new opportunities for innovation. * Contribute to design reviews and critique, helping to uphold and inspire a high level of design execution and inclusive, accessible experiences across the team. * Mentor & Scale Impact: Inspire and guide other designers in craft, systemic thinking, and best practices through critique, guidance, and sharing your expertise across teams. * Communicate & Influence: Clearly articulate your design thinking, rationale, and vision—presenting work to teams, leaders, and executives, and rallying consensus.   What we’re looking for: * 8+ years of experience in product design, with strong visual and interaction design skills demonstrated in a portfolio of shipped or in-progress work. * Track record in staff/principal-level roles, influencing horizontally, upholding design craft quality, and partnering cross-functionally—ideally in large-scale consumer or platform environments.  * Expert-level motion and visual design skills, with a deep understanding of principles and their impact on usability, comprehension, and overall experience quality — using animation and transitions to enhance clarity, convey emotion, and drive user engagement. * Ability to design within and extend a design system, balancing consistency with thoughtful innovation across surfaces and platforms. * Design technologist mindset: Comfortable experimenting with Figma prototypes, AI, and (optionally) front-end code; curious and opinionated about technical feasibility, accessibility, and how we can streamline design workflows and processes through systems and tools.  * Strong product thinking and systems mindset: you can connect craft decisions to user outcomes, product strategy, and measurable impact. * Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions, tradeoffs, synthesize ambiguity into actionable design problems and unite teams through clarity, documentation, and collaboration.  * High attention to detail and a sense of ownership over the quality and cohesion of the product experience, including accessibility and inclusive design considerations. * Collaborative, low-ego working style with a growth mindset; passion for ongoing learning, experimentation, and mentoring others, giving and receiving feedback & contributing to team culture. * Bachelor’s degree in design, a related field or equivalent experience. * Bonus Points For * Experience leading platform-wide or multi-product design system initiatives. * Familiarity with personalization, large consumer apps, or rapid scale environments. * Contributions to public design systems, open-source libraries, or industry talks/writing. * Join us to shape the platform and patterns that power inspiration for millions—raising the bar for design quality, system integrity, and Pinterest’s positive potential.   In-Office Requirement Statement: * We recognize that the ideal environment for work is situational and may differ across departments.
