About Pinterest:

Millions of people around the world come to our platform to find creative ideas, dream about new possibilities and plan for memories that will last a lifetime. At Pinterest, we’re on a mission to bring everyone the inspiration to create a life they love, and that starts with the people behind the product.

Discover a career where you ignite innovation for millions, transform passion into growth opportunities, celebrate each other’s unique experiences and embrace the flexibility to do your best work. Creating a career you love? It’s Possible.

At Pinterest, AI isn't just a feature, it's a powerful partner that augments our creativity and amplifies our impact, and we’re looking for candidates who are excited to be a part of that. To get a complete picture of your experience and abilities, we’ll explore your foundational skills and how you collaborate with AI.

Through our interview process, what matters most is that you can always explain your approach, showing us not just what you know, but how you think. You can read more about our AI interview philosophy and how we use AI in our recruiting process here.

We’re looking for curious, collaborative Product Design interns to help shape products and experiences that are useful, inspiring, and meaningful for our Pinners. Partnering with mentors and teammates across product, design, engineering, data science, research, and marketing, you’ll help define problems, evaluate opportunities, and drive execution on real product work. You’ll gain hands-on experience balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints—while learning how AI-first thinking and AI-powered tools can accelerate product development from idea to launch.

What you’ll do:

  • Take ownership over the completion and quality of your tasks and project while incorporating guidance from your mentor, manager, and peers
  • Support product work end-to-end, from problem definition and opportunity sizing through execution, launch, and learning
  • Partner cross-functionally with engineering, design, data science, research, and other teams to build the future of Pinterest
  • Leverage data, user insights, and product judgment to help identify customer needs and inform product decisions
  • Contribute to product specs, prioritization, experimentation, and go-to-market planning for scoped initiatives
  • Leverage AI tools to optimize your workflow —whether brainstorming, synthesizing insights, drafting product docs, or accelerating execution
  • Communicate new ideas and opinions with candor as you grow both professionally and personally through learning and development opportunities

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 degree in design, engineering, or a related field
  • Obtain Bachelor’s or Master's degree by 2028
  • Previous internship, academic, or leadership experience in product management, software, design, analytics, consulting, entrepreneurship, or a related area
  • Demonstrated interest in building great products and solving user problems
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across functions and levels
  • Has a learner and builder mindset: able to quickly onboard to emerging AI tools and apply them appropriately throughout the product development process with a focus on decision quality, craft, and efficiency
  • Familiarity using AI as a learning and productivity tool to accelerate product work while exercising strong judgment around accuracy, privacy, security, and when to ask for help

We offer 2 internship start dates:

  • May 24, 2027 - August 13, 2027
  • June 21, 2027 - September 10, 2027

In-Office Requirement:

  • 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.
