About the Position

We are hiring a Mechanical Engineer who can balance speed and stability while shipping software used by millions. Everything here scales with you — $49,000 - $69,000 at 1 years, technology ownership soon after, and a Pinterest ladder above.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the Ruby on Rails release that Lincoln leadership has circled on the calendar
  • Read the Next.js stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Pinterest
  • Keep the technology Go service humming through Lincoln's holiday traffic surge
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across NE engineering teams
  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
  • Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
  • Lead Terraform design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Lincoln, NE builds them

What You'll Bring

  • Junior-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • Comfort with hybrid arrangements and the rhythms of a fast-paced workplace
  • A track record of thoughtfully-bold delivery in a hybrid structure
  • Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent

Pinterest is a small but detail-focused NE company that punches well above its weight in the technology space. Around Pinterest, the loudest voice never automatically wins the technology argument.

The offer is plainspoken: $49,000 - $69,000, coaching that grows you, benefits that cover you, and a schedule that flexes with Lincoln.

We are reviewing Terraform and Java backgrounds on a daily basis for this seat.
