Responsibilities

TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video. Our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. TikTok has global offices including Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Dubai, Singapore, Jakarta, Seoul and Tokyo.

Why Join Us
Creation is the core of TikTok's purpose. Our platform is built to help imaginations thrive. This is doubly true of the teams that make TikTok possible.
Together, we inspire creativity and bring joy - a mission we all believe in and aim towards achieving every day.
To us, every challenge, no matter how difficult, is an opportunity; to learn, to innovate, and to grow as one team. Status quo? Never. Courage? Always.
At TikTok, we create together and grow together. That's how we drive impact - for ourselves, our company, and the communities we serve.

A "creative" is the ad (in the form of a short-form video) served to TikTok users, composed of video, background music, call-to-action card, post-click landing page, and other formats that get delivered to users. A quote goes "creativity is the soul of advertising", because a good ad creative is effective, yet difficult to produce, especially at the scale of TikTok advertising.

The TikTok Ads Creative & Ecosystem team's mission is to solve the above dilemma, by building industry-leading tech solutions for ads creative/landing page understanding, production/generation, and optimization, to inspire and empower advertisers, creators, and other 3rd parties in the ecosystem to create and deliver the best engaging creative experiences to the end users. Our work is at the core of TikTok and creator monetization. Examples of our team's work include TikTok video editor, AI-powered smart video generation (we are also exploring AIGC), and TikTok creative exchange (a creative marketplace to connect TikTok advertisers with creators or third-party creative agencies).

We are user/product oriented and dedicated to technical excellence. We aim to drive and lead the technology renovation in the ads tech and creative industry, powering products and driving values for our clients, creators, and the whole ecosystem. We are looking for software engineers who are excited to grow their business understanding, build highly scalable and reliable software/infrastructure, partner across functions with global teams, and make big impacts. If you are someone who welcomes challenges, we are eager to have you on the team

Responsibilities
• Responsible for the development of scalable and reliable systems aligned with product target and requirements.
• Build the TikTok Ads Creative Ecosystem with creative/landing page understanding, production/generation, optimization, TikTok creative exchange, etc.
• Understand product objectives, drive and develop user-friendly solutions to satisfy customer needs.
• Responsible for the team project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
• Define long-term technical roadmaps and contribute to technical decisions on the team.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams globally in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or above, majoring in Computer Science or related fields.
• 7+ years of experience leading a software engineering team.
• Strong knowledge of data structure and algorithms, proficient in at least one coding language, including but not limited to Python, Go, Java, C++.
• Familiar with the entire software development life cycle including product discussion, research, and analysis (demand and supply side), document writing, system design, coding, testing, etc.
• Passion for new technologies and proven capability in analysis and problem-solving.
• Ability to think critically and to formulate solutions in a clear and concise way.
• Very strong teamwork skills (e.g. communication, ownership, empathy, honesty).

TikTok is committed to creating an inclusive space where employees are valued for their skills, experiences, and unique perspectives. Our platform connects people from across the globe and so does our workplace. At TikTok, our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. To achieve that goal, we are committed to celebrating our diverse voices and to creating an environment that reflects the many communities we reach.
