Pinterest is the world's leading visual search and discovery platform, serving over 500 million monthly active users globally on their journey from inspiration to action. As we scale Generative AI experiences — including Pinterest Assistant and Canvas — ensuring these products are safe, fair, and trustworthy is paramount. We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help lead Pinterest's responsible AI mandate within the Advanced Technology Group (ATG). In this role, you will design and build the data science foundations for automated adversarial testing of our GenAI products — developing attack strategies, evaluation frameworks, and harm-detection methodologies that operate at scale. You will work in a highly collaborative and cross-functional environment, partnering with ML Engineers, Trust & Safety specialists, Policy teams, and Product Managers. You are expected to develop a deep understanding of generative AI vulnerabilities, and generate insights and robust methodologies to proactively surface and mitigate risks. The results of your work will directly influence product safety, policy compliance, and user trust across Pinterest. What you'll do Design and develop automated adversarial testing methodologies — including single-turn, multi-turn, and multimodal attack strategies — to proactively identify vulnerabilities in Pinterest's Generative AI products. Build and calibrate hybrid evaluation pipelines combining LLM-based judges, classifiers, and rule-based systems to accurately detect safety violations, policy breaches, bias, and representational harms. Develop and operationalize harm taxonomies grounded in industry standards and Pinterest's Responsible AI and Trust & Safety threat models. Design adaptive refinement loops that learn from attack outcomes (near-misses, partial failures) to iteratively surface deeper and previously unknown vulnerabilities. Bring scientific rigor and statistical methods to the evaluation of AI safety — including benchmark dataset construction, evaluation calibration, and success-metric definition (vulnerability severity, coverage breadth, pre-launch risk reduction). Work cross-functionally to build relationships, proactively communicate key findings, and collaborate closely with ML engineers, Trust & Safety specialists, policy teams, product managers, and legal partners to ensure safe product launches. Relentlessly focus on impact, whether through influencing product safety strategy, advancing responsible AI metrics, or improving critical evaluation processes. Mentor and up-level junior data scientists and cross-functional partners on adversarial evaluation, responsible AI methodologies, and safety-aware data science practices. What we're looking for 5+ years of experience analyzing data in a fast-paced, data-driven environment with proven ability to apply scientific methods to solve real-world problems on web-scale data. Strong interest and hands-on experience in one or more of: AI safety, adversarial machine learning, red teaming, responsible AI, or trust & safety. Deep familiarity with large language models (LLMs), generative AI systems, and their failure modes — including prompt injection, jailbreaks, bias, and safety violations. Experience designing and calibrating evaluation frameworks for AI systems — including LLM-as-judge, classifier-based evaluation, and benchmark dataset construction. Strong quantitative programming (Python) and data manipulation skills (SQL/Spark); experience with ML pipelines and large-scale experimentation. Familiarity with AI safety taxonomies and frameworks (e.g., OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS) is strongly preferred. Ability to work independently, drive ambiguous projects end-to-end, and operate with high ownership. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical findings to both technical and non-technical partners. A team player eager to partner across Responsible AI, Trust & Safety, Product, Engineering, Policy, and Legal to turn safety insights into action.

You’ll shape how Pinterest uses data, models, and tooling to innovate quickly and responsibly.

What you’ll do:

• Drive AI compliance and governance product strategy across Pinner- and advertiser-facing AI products, ensuring that model training and inference align with global regulatory obligations, internal policies, and Pinterest’s values.
• Own user-facing and internal data controls for AI training (e.g., AI data opt-out mechanisms), setting requirements and roadmaps that balance product performance, privacy, and regulatory needs while ensuring effective internal enforcement and awareness.
• Expand and support AI compliance tooling—from detection and labeling systems (such as watermarking and provenance) to governance workflows and inventories—so teams across Pinterest can build compliant AI experiences efficiently and consistently.
• Partner deeply with Legal, Privacy, Policy, Security, and Engineering to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, prioritized product workstreams and scalable platform capabilities.
• Lead high-visibility, cross-functional programs that span multiple product areas, infrastructure, and engineering teams, creating alignment on tradeoffs, sequencing, and resourcing for AI governance initiatives across the company.
• Serve as a principal-level thought partner on AI governance, influencing long-range AI product strategy, identifying new risk or compliance gaps early, and advocating for the infrastructure and processes needed to keep Pinterest ahead of regulatory change.
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• Deep AI/ML or data platform product experience, including building or scaling products that rely on model training data, user data, or complex backend systems; experience in AI safety, responsible AI, or AI compliance is a strong plus.
• Proven success driving cross-company, multi-year programs at a Staff/Principal level (or equivalent), especially in ambiguous problem spaces that require both strategic frameworks and hands-on execution.
• Experience working closely with Legal, Privacy, Policy, and Security teams to operationalize regulatory or policy requirements into product features, data controls, and platform capabilities.
• Fluency with data and governance concepts—comfortable reasoning about data classification, lineage, retention, opt-outs, and enforcement, and partnering with technical teams to define robust measurement and monitoring.
• Track record of building or scaling compliance or governance tooling, such as policy engines, inventories/registries, detection or labeling systems, approval workflows, or audit and reporting capabilities.
• Exceptional communication and influence skills, with the ability to align executive stakeholders and cross-functional partners around a clear point of view on AI risk, compliance tradeoffs, and sequencing.
• Comfort operating in fast-changing regulatory and technical environments, with a bias toward pragmatic, principle-driven solutions that protect users and the business while enabling innovation.
• Ability to lead and operate in highly ambiguous environments and execute with urgency.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience
