Pinterest Engineering

Today, we rang the NYSE bell to mark Pinterest’s five year anniversary as a public company. We haven’t just come a long way since our IPO – we’ve worked to transform the online landscape since our founding fourteen years ago. As a personal space where you can visualize your future, save your favorite ideas and shop what you see, we are helping Pinterest users bring their dreams to life in a positive and uplifting environment. Thank you to our amazing team at Pinterest for making this journey possible. We are in a new era at Pinterest: building an inclusive place on the internet for over half a billion users around the world each month. 📌

At Pinterest, we strive to develop features that enhance our users' experience. We are committed to helping Pinterest users see themselves reflected on the platform, by introducing various features such as skin tone ranges, hair pattern search, and now, body type ranges. We are delighted that our latest feature, body type ranges, is having a positive impact. It is empowering individuals to feel more represented and confident on Pinterest. It's hard work to get this right, I'll be speaking about how the Pinterest Engineering team does this at the Dublin Tech Summit in a couple of weeks. Its truly great to work for a company that puts #inspiration first!

Next week, we’re sponsoring the 2024 Latinas in Tech Summit. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet members of our recruiting team at Booth A1, get to know Autumn Rose V. in a panel discussion and learn more about building inclusive products with Pedro Silva and Madelyn Reyes. Join us for an inspiring two days at #LiTSummit2024. 📌

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Hamburg to speak at OMR and spend time with our local colleagues. It was great to connect with the talented and passionate team in person and to get a taste of Germany’s vibrant culture and innovation. During my keynote today, I shared our vision for Inclusive AI at Pinterest and how it's essential to create products that are equitable and empowering for everyone. It was so inspiring to see the positive response from the audience and know that we're part of a movement that's making a real difference. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have met so many amazing people in Hamburg. Here's to more collaborations, more inclusivity, and more exciting experiences in the future! 🇩🇪 🧡 #OMR24 #InclusiveAI #Pinterest

We had a great quarter, but more importantly we are building a product that even more people love. 500 million every month, at Pinterest our AI investments are in fact paying off. Great work Pinterest Engineering on the technical innovation, better work making a product pinners and advertisers love! https://lnkd.in/gqGxUreK

We kicked off 2024 with a milestone Q1 — surpassing half a billion monthly active users and reaching 23% revenue growth — our fastest user and revenue growth since 2021. We’re focused on what makes Pinterest beloved & unique — human curation at scale, powered by AI for great recommendations and shoppability. I’m proud of our teams who are executing with tremendous focus, shipping new products and experiences that users want, and in doing so, we’re finding our best product market fit in years. I am confident that positivity pays off as we continue on this journey in building a better business model for social media. Check out our full results: https://lnkd.in/gjVhCSMC
