About the position

TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video, and our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. U.S. Data Security (USDS) is a subsidiary of TikTok in the U.S., created to enhance focus and governance on our data protection policies and content assurance protocols to ensure the safety of U.S. users. Our commitment is to provide oversight and protection of the TikTok platform and U.S. user data, allowing millions of Americans to continue using TikTok for learning, earning, creative expression, and entertainment. The teams within USDS that deliver on this commitment span across Trust & Safety, Security & Privacy, Engineering, User & Product Ops, Corporate Functions, and more. The Governance and Experience Algorithm team, established in September 2020, supports various businesses with advanced AI technology to combat risks and violations in e-commerce scenarios and to build a healthy e-commerce ecosystem while improving platform service capabilities. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a crucial role in identifying algorithms for risk and violation issues in e-commerce, mining algorithms to detect fraudulent behaviors, and optimizing algorithms for large-scale brand libraries and content deduplication. You will also be involved in data construction and fine-tuning for large models in the e-commerce domain, aiming for ultimate effect optimization. In this role, you will optimize various algorithms such as NLP, vision, multimodal, search, graph, and LLM to support governance business, explore cutting-edge technologies, and apply them to e-commerce scenarios. You will streamline the optimization process for computer vision models, enhance video classification and multimodal content understanding, and improve risk identification models related to text content in e-commerce. Your responsibilities will also include researching large-scale multimodal algorithms and extracting extensive data from various entities in the e-commerce landscape.

Responsibilities

  • Identifying algorithms for risk/violation/low-quality issues in e-commerce scenarios such as products, shopping cart short videos, and live streaming with products.
  • Mining and identifying algorithms to detect fraudulent behaviors and identify risky, violated, or low-quality merchants and creators.
  • Optimizing algorithms for large-scale brand libraries, products, and content deduplication/clustering.
  • Data construction, instruction fine-tuning, CoT, alignment, and other work for large models in the e-commerce domain, aiming for ultimate effect optimization.
