Twelve years ago, Pinterest was born at 220 California Avenue in Palo Alto. As a tribute to those early days of hands-on creativity and grit, last year Pinterest launched its first in-house product incubator called TwoTwenty. Pinterest TwoTwenty is a multidisciplinary team of startup-minded creatives, engineers, and product thinkers dedicated to building the future of inspiration products.
Our approach is to rapidly explore ideas, technologies and hypotheses in order to identify opportunities that provide long-term value to pinners, creators, advertisers and Pinterest. Since the launch of TwoTwenty, we’ve had several key successes, including launching Pinterest TV.
Pinterest TV is a destination for people to watch, shop and try inspiring ideas in categories like food, beauty, home, and DIY. Through recent advancements with shopping and creator features, Pinners are engaging in more immersive formats and actionable entertainment than ever before.
As Pinterest TV grows, we believe that live shopping is an area where Pinterest is uniquely positioned to win the market. Now, we are looking for a startup-minded Development Coordinator to join our team and provide daily support to the Pinterest TV Development team.
