Solutions Engineer Interns work at the intersection of engineering, data and Pinterest’s advertising and revenue ecosystem. They contribute to scoped technical projects that improve tools, workflows, integrations and support experiences for internal teams, advertisers and partners.
The role offers exposure to real engineering work, cross-functional collaboration and responsible AI-assisted workflows, including applying judgment and verification to AI-supported work. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to see how technology drives customer and business impact. You’ll partner with engineers, data and analytics specialists, product stakeholders and go-to-market teams; learn how ambiguous operational problems become reliable technical solutions; and gain hands-on experience across coding, debugging, data analysis, automation, documentation and system design.
What you’ll do:
- Complete assigned technical projects with attention to quality, incorporating feedback from your mentor, manager and peers
- Execute scoped technical tasks end-to-end that contribute to Pinterest products and infrastructure
- Build, test, debug, and improve code, scripts, automations, internal tools or data workflows using guidance from experienced engineers.
- Investigate technical issues using logs, data, documentation and structured troubleshooting; help identify root causes, validate solutions and communicate findings.
- Participate in scheduled engineering on-call coverage during regular workdays and working hours, with guidance from experienced engineers, to help triage and document issues.
- Partner with Engineering, Product, Sales, Operations and Support teams and, where relevant, communicate directly with external partners to understand requirements, clarify technical questions and contribute to practical solutions.
- Help improve reporting, monitoring, documentation, sample code, or support processes so teams can resolve issues and make decisions more efficiently.
- Use approved AI tools to accelerate research, coding, analysis, and documentation while validating outputs, protecting confidential information, and taking ownership of the final work.
What we’re looking for:
- This position requires current enrollment in a school or education program in which the individual is working towards a Bachelor’s in Computer Science, engineering, information systems or a related technical field.
- Obtain Bachelor's in Computer Science or related technical field by June 2028.
- Foundational understanding of programming concepts, debugging and testing, demonstrated through coursework, projects or prior experience.
- Experience writing and debugging code in at least one programming language, such as Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
- Clear communication of technical thinking, thoughtful clarifying questions and effective collaboration with teammates.
- Comfort working with structured data in tables or CSV files and using spreadsheets to organize or review data.
- Experience using AI tools to support learning, research or technical problem-solving, with a practice of validating outputs through testing or source review and handling information responsibly.
We offer 2 internship start dates:
- May 17, 2027 - August 6, 2027
- June 14, 2027 - September 3, 2027
In-Office Requirement Statement:
- We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
- For this role, some interns will work in a hybrid model (commutable distance to one of our offices, with in-person collaboration approximately 1–2 times per week), and some will work fully remote within approved locations. Specific location and work style (hybrid or remote) will be confirmed during the interview and offer process. Office locations available for this role: Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York

About this role
Pinterest's Solutions Engineer Intern role sits at the intersection of engineering, data, and the company's advertising platform—a position designed to give you real exposure to how technical work translates into customer and business impact. You'll own scoped projects that improve internal tools, workflows, and partner experiences, working alongside engineers, data specialists, product teams, and go-to-market groups. The work spans coding, debugging, data analysis, automation, and system design, with hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers guiding you through the full lifecycle of technical problem-solving.
The internship demands solid foundational skills: you'll need to be currently enrolled in a Computer Science or related technical degree program (graduating by June 2028), with practical coding experience in languages like Python, Java, JavaScript, or C++. You should be comfortable debugging, testing, and working with structured data, and importantly, you need to demonstrate thoughtful collaboration and clear communication of your technical thinking. The role also expects you to use AI tools responsibly—validating outputs, protecting confidential information, and taking ownership of the final work.
This is a paid internship ($7,500–$9,500 monthly) with two start windows in summer 2027. While the listing indicates some interns may work hybrid (1–2 days per week in-office at Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York), others work fully remote. The specific arrangement will be confirmed during your interview process. This role suits someone who wants to see how engineering decisions drive real products and who's ready to learn by doing, not just observing.
