Pinterest is looking for a methodical and thoughtful Product Designer II to join the Design Innovation team. In this role, you will help evolve the product design language and craft intuitive experiences while collaborating closely with various teams to shape end-to-end experiences that feel uniquely Pinterest.

Responsibilities:

• Design product experiences—systematically, interactively, and visually—with a high bar for craft and consistency across the Pinterest product ecosystem
• Partner with Design Innovation teammates and cross-functional partners to evolve our product design language and bring it to life in key product surfaces and features
• Explore and prototype new interaction patterns and end-to-end flows that make Pinterest feel more modern, memorable, and uniquely 'Pinterest.'
• Use AI tools to accelerate parts of your workflow—from early concept exploration and competitive/visual research to generating variations, content, and structured design artifacts—while validating outputs for quality, alignment with our brand, and user needs
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product management, and research to develop impactful, user-centric, and data-informed solutions; work with engineers throughout implementation to ensure high-quality execution
• Incorporate insights from qualitative and quantitative research, experiments, and marketplace/AI trends to refine design directions and identify new opportunities for innovation
• Contribute to design reviews and critique, helping to uphold and inspire a high level of design execution and inclusive, accessible experiences across the team

Requirements:

• Experience designing for consumer products, with strong visual and interaction design skills demonstrated in a portfolio of shipped or in-progress work
• Ability to design within and extend a design system, balancing consistency with thoughtful innovation across surfaces and platforms
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools (such as LLMs or design/creative AI tools) to augment your design workflow—for example, to explore concepts, structure information, or generate and refine content—paired with a clear approach to validating accuracy, quality, and brand alignment
• Strong product thinking and systems mindset: you can connect craft decisions to user outcomes, product strategy, and measurable impact
• Great communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions, tradeoffs, and how AI fits into your process to cross-functional partners at different levels
• High attention to detail and a sense of ownership over the quality and cohesion of the product experience, including accessibility and inclusive design considerations
• Collaborative, low-ego working style with a growth mindset; you're excited to learn, give and receive feedback, and contribute to a positive, inclusive team culture
• Bachelor's degree in design, a related field or equivalent experience
