  • Data Management and Preprocessing : Manage data preparation workflows including data collection, cleaning, validation, and preprocessing for model training pipelines, ensuring optimal data quality and integrity to support robust model performance and reliable training outcomes.
  • Technology Research and Implementation : Maintain expertise in the latest developments across multimodal and generative AI domains, proactively identifying and integrating breakthrough technologies to advance product capabilities and maintain competitive technological advantages.

Launch your career where inspiration is infinite at TikTok. Successful candidates must be able to commit to an onboarding date by end of year 2026.
