Role Summary

Pinterest is looking for a Senior Director of Security Engineering to serve as the CISOs operating partner and lead the engineering execution for the entire Product and Cloud Security areas of our information security program

This is not a conventional security-leadership hire — it is a mandate to run a significant, multi-domain engineering organization at the intersection of product security, cloud and infrastructure security, and privacy engineering.

Reporting directly to the CISO, you will own approximately two-thirds of Pinterests entire information security program: a team of 40+ engineers organized across five direct reports, and a scope that spans from secure product development and platform controls to privacy-by-design architecture and AI security

You will translate Pinterests security and privacy strategy into measurable, durable engineering outcomes — and serve as a trusted partner to Engineering, Product, Legal, Privacy, and Trust & Safety leadership.

What Youll Do

Own the end-to-end security engineering organization spanning product security, application security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, security architecture, supply chain and AI/product-risk controls, and cloud infrastructure security

Define and drive Pinterests multi-year security engineering roadmap; translate risk appetite and policy into executable, measurable engineering programs across product and infrastructure lifecycles Serve as
