Machine Learning Engineer, TikTok - Business Governance

- About the Team

We are building next-generation Trust & Safety systems powered by large language models and multimodal foundation models to protect TikTok, Lemon8, and short-form video platforms. Our team focuses on multimodal reasoning, content understanding, and large-scale risk detection across text, image, audio, and video. We actively explore and productionize cutting-edge technologies such as LLM post-training, multimodal models, and AI Agents to build intelligent, scalable, and adaptive content moderation systems.

• Responsibilities - What You'II Do
• Develop content safety algorithms for TikTok, Lemon8, and short-form drama platforms, covering multimodal understanding and risk detection across video, text, image, and audio
• Leverage machine learning, deep learning, and large model technologies to improve content moderation pipelines, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure model robustness and production stability
• Own the training and application of LLMs and MLLMs for content safety use cases, including post-training techniques such as SFT, RLHF, DPO, and safety alignment
• Drive the exploration and productionization of emerging capabilities such as AI Agents, multimodal reasoning, and video understanding to build next-generation intelligent moderation systems
