The Conversion Visibility Modeling team enables a performant ads marketplace and helps prove value to advertisers by connecting Pinterest onsite activity with conversions that happen offsite (both digital and physical) in a privacy-preserving way. As a Machine Learning Engineering Manager on this team, you will lead a hybrid team of ML engineers and backend software engineers to build end-to-end identity and conversion visibility solutions across modeling, serving, and data infrastructure, so advertisers retain accurate, privacy-aware performance visibility as signals fragment and degrade.

• Lead a team responsible for the strategy, execution, and operational excellence of identity and conversion signal modeling systems (e.g., user match prediction, conversion type/value prediction, probabilistic attribution and deduplication) that improve match precision/recall and downstream conversion quality across web and app surfaces.
• Partner closely with product managers, data scientists, and tech leads to shape problem definitions, translate business needs into technical strategy, and drive execution toward high-impact outcomes.
• Collaborate closely with Ads Ranking & Bidding, Measurement Products, and Conversion Ingestion & Attribution teams to define interfaces, SLAs, and success metrics that enable end-to-end identity and conversion visibility systems—including mode
