Pinterest Technical Program Managers are proactive owners with technical expertise. They are aligned to the highest level company priorities to support successful delivery of programs within their teams.

The Platforms TPM organization partners with Agent Foundations, Machine Learning Platform, Core Infra, Security, Ads Agent Infra, Data Product, and Data Science to operationalize Pinterest's Agent Platform — the shared registry, harness, evaluation, observability, AAA, memory, and MCP infrastructure that every AI agent at Pinterest is built on.

As a Staff Technical Program Manager for Agent Platforms, you will drive the program that takes Pinterest's Agent Platform from MVP to a fully productized, self-serve platform — partnering with engineering, security, and product stakeholders to make it simple, safe, and fast for any team to ship an AI agent.

• Own execution of the Agent Platform roadmap across Agent Foundations, Discovery & Governance, Quality/Trust/Privacy, Token Entitlements, and Adoption & Operations.

• Translate strategic bets (Managed vs. Self-Managed platform design, harness standardization, cost governance) into sequenced execution plans, and be accountable for driving them to completion.

• Execute at both breadth and depth — at breadth by understanding the full platform surface area, and at depth by driving the nitty-gritty details with individual component owners.

• Be a thought partner to engineering leadership on platform architecture and roadmap decisions during quarterly and annual planning.

• Work cross-functionally with Engineering, Security, Data Science, and Product to turn ambiguous platform gaps (ownership, governance, enforcement) into actionable outcomes.

• Define and institutionalize the operating model for component ownership, on-call, and production-readiness review as the platform scales.

• Build effective, transparent communication channels to report platform status, risk, and adoption metrics to stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership.

• Own the success of the Agent Platform program, ensuring delivery of measurable outcomes (Platform Adoption, Time-to-Value, Developer NPS) through rigorous planning, execution, and accountability.

• Mentor others and elevate organizational impact by creating and institutionalizing best practices, tools, and methodologies for AI platform program management.
