Staff Software Engineer, App Promotion

We are seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the App Promotion engineering team. In this role, you will own the engineering roadmap to take Pinterest’s App Install Optimization product from beta to GA, hardening the current alpha/beta experience, closing critical measurement gaps, and ensuring readiness across Ads Manager, backend services, and mobile clients. You will lay the groundwork for future optimizations (App Event Optimization, tROAS, and retargeting) by partnering with Ads Quality, ML, and Measurement teams to build scalable models, robust experimentation, and trustworthy reporting. You will manage a team of 5–6 full stack and mobile engineers, foster an inclusive and high-performing team culture, and work closely with cross-functional leaders across Ads, Measurement, and Product to align on strategy, tradeoffs, and execution.
