As a Senior Data Scientist on Pinterest’s Trust and Safety team, you will design and implement sampling frameworks and data aggregations to measure the prevalence of unsafe content across the platform. Your day-to-day involves developing ML-assisted sampling techniques, building large-scale data pipelines for safety labeling, and creating robust dashboards for continuous monitoring. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including ML Engineers, Trust & Safety Ops, and Product Managers to ensure policy compliance and executive-level visibility into platform health. The role requires 5+ years of experience in analyzing web-scale data, expertise in statistical methods, and hands-on knowledge of platform safety and prevalence measurement.
