About Pinterest:
Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most.

The Engineering Productivity team is a diverse group of experienced engineers who build products, tools and systems enabling thousands of Pinterest engineers to be productive across the development lifecycle (code, build, deploy). Our vision is to build a platform that inspires developers to do their best work, and our mission is to provide a fast and safe path from prototype to production without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. We believe in contributing to open source work and collaboration as much as possible.
