Senior Machine Learning Engineer (Applied Science)

Join Pinterest Labs, a team focused on applied ML research and development. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will work on a variety of AI/ML initiatives, including core computer vision and generative modeling. You will specifically focus on developing Pinterest Canvas, an internal text-to-image generative model. This role requires hands-on experience with diffusion text-to-image models and independent model implementation skills. You will also mentor junior researchers and contribute to the overall visual generative strategy at the company.

Missions

• Prototype new model architectures for Pinterest Canvas, our internal text-to-image generative model.
• Read research papers, participate in group discussions, and help brainstorm our overall visual generative strategy at the company.
• Help with collection of relevant visual training data for Pinterest Canvas, particularly to conduct RLHF, targeted fine-tuning, etc.
