The Team
Pinterest's Shopping & Delivery Infrastructure team builds and operates the catalog, indexing, retrieval, and serving systems that power Shopping and ads across every Pinterest surface, from search and homefeed to P2P and international markets. Our mission is to make Pinterest's shopping and delivery stack unified, scalable, and low-latency so we can drive sustainable revenue growth, exceptional Pinner experiences, and measurable advertiser outcomes. We're in the middle of a multi-year transformation of the stack, and we work closely with catalog, indexing, retrieval, serving, ads quality, and product teams to make Pinterest's shopping infrastructure faster, more reliable, and ready to scale.
- Independently drive a well-defined portfolio of Shopping catalog and indexing programs, keeping engineering owners, timelines, and dependencies on track.
- Run the day-to-day working-team cadence including standups, planning, decision-tracking, and documentation, so the team stays aligned on priorities and next steps.
- Build and maintain program dashboards and reporting that give engineering and cross-functional stakeholders a clear view of progress, risk, and decisions.
- Manage cross-team dependencies with partner teams across catalog, indexing, retrieval, serving, and ads quality.
- Communicate clearly in writing and verbally across.
- Use GenAI as the default operating model for EP PgM execution—producing AI-assisted first drafts of core program artifacts, modernizing high-toil workflows into AI-first mechanisms (e.g., intake triage, status synthesis, action/decision extraction, risk & dependency tracking), and synthesizing signals to proactively surface risks, decision/trade-offs, and escalation paths.
- Prototype solutions to augment decisions through data (e.g. dashboards, data analysis) or simplify processes (e.g. process and workflow helpers, or internal tools) using AI coding assistants ("vibe coding").
- Follow Pinterest AI guidance for risk, governance, and safety-by-design: appropriately handle sensitive data, validate AI-generated outputs, document assumptions/limits, and ensure AI-assisted workflows meet applicable policy/compliance expectations before broad adoption.
What We're Looking For
- 2–4 years of TPM experience independently driving technical programs to completion, ideally within infrastructure, platform, or data-adjacent environments.
- Solid foundational understanding of distributed systems concepts — services, streaming pipelines, batch vs real-time processing.
- Strong execution and follow-through, with a track record of running multiple concurrent workstreams without dropping the ball.
- Comfortable working with data — building dashboards, tracking metrics, and turning progress into clear status updates.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with experience managing cross-team dependencies and stakeholder expectations.
- Experience with ads, monetization, streaming systems (Flink/Kafka), or financial-controls processes is a plus; willingness to learn the domain is essential.
- Workflow design, AI fluency, data & insights orientation: experience turning repeatable program work into durable, low-toil mechanisms and improving decision-making by using GenAI (e.g., strong prompting, vibe coding lightweight scripts/tools, dashboards, data analysis and leveraging agents where appropriate).
- Safety-by-design AI fluency: experience operating within AI governance expectations (risk assessment, data handling, model/output validation, auditability/traceability) and proactively identifying where AI use is not appropriate or requires additional controls.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field or equivalent experience.
Join us and help scale the systems that power Pinterest's Shopping and Ads business!

Entry Level Technical Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level technical manager job?
Start by highlighting any internship, capstone project, or team lead experience where you coordinated technical work, even informally. Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can communicate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, manage small project scopes, and demonstrate basic familiarity with tools like Jira, Agile frameworks, or version control systems. A portfolio showing real outcomes gives your application a concrete edge.
Which companies hire entry level technical managers?
Companies hiring entry level technical managers right now include Google, Yardi Systems, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from growth-stage tech companies, enterprise IT departments, and manufacturers scaling their engineering teams who are willing to develop early-career talent into the role.
Are there remote entry level technical manager jobs?
Yes, though fully remote openings are less common at this level than at senior levels. About 32% of entry level technical manager openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, meaning candidates outside major tech hubs still have real options. Hybrid roles in particular give new entrants valuable in-person exposure to team dynamics and stakeholder relationships.
Are these new grad technical manager jobs?
Yes. Many of the postings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with zero to two years of experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically accepts internship experience, volunteer team coordination, or a strong portfolio in place of full-time work history. Look for language like "recent graduates encouraged" or "will train" to identify the most accessible openings.
Which industries hire the most entry level technical managers?
Entry Level technical manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Staffing & Recruiting, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors drive early-career hiring because they have large technical teams that need coordination and project oversight, and they tend to build junior managers up from within rather than requiring candidates to arrive fully formed.
