Pinterest Engage Scholars Program
About Pinterest
Millions of people across the world come to Pinterest to find new ideas every day. It’s where they get inspiration, dream about new possibilities and plan for what matters most. Our mission is to help those people find their inspiration and create a life they love. In your role, you’ll be challenged to take on work that upholds this mission and pushes Pinterest forward. You’ll grow as a person and leader in your field, all the while helping Pinners make their lives better in the positive corner of the internet.
The Pinterest Engage Scholars Program is dedicated to providing growth and learning opportunities to students who are preparing to apply for their first technical internship in 2023 and who are actively enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program with a demonstrated interest in a technical major. We believe that building diverse teams is essential to building great products. People from backgrounds underrepresented in our industry including women and people with Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native and/or Pacific Islanders ancestry and LGBTQ+ people are especially encouraged to apply. This program series is a fully remote, unpaid training opportunity from June to August 2022. Please submit your application by March 7th at 11:59PM PT to be considered.
