Responsibilities About the Team The #Cyber Defense & #Engineering team is missioned to run and operate security infrastructures, platforms and technologies, as well as to support cross-functional teams to protect our users, products and infrastructures. In this team you'll have a unique opportunity to have first-hand exposure to the strategy of the company in key security initiatives, especially in deploying and maintaining scalable and secure-by-design systems and solutions. Our challenges are not your regular day-to-day technical problems; you'll be part of a team that's developing new solutions to new challenges of a kind not previously addressed by big tech. It's working fast, at scale, and we're making a difference. In order to enhance collaboration and cross-functional partnerships, among other things, at this time, our organization follows a hybrid work schedule that requires employees to work in the office 3 days a week, or as directed by their manager/department. We regularly review our hybrid work model, and the specific requirements may change at any time. About the Role You'll be an integral part of the USDS Cyber Defense & Engineering team, responsible for enhancing #security tools and identifying vulnerabilities, with a specific focus on content assurance and the application of large language models (LLMs). You'll collaborate cross-functionally with partners inside and outside TikTok to fortify our products and users' security, helping to establish TikTok as the most trusted platform. We are seeking a versatile, forward-thinking, and outcome-driven Software Engineer to propel our projects forward. In this capacity, you will engage with diverse technical and non-technical teams across various regions, contributing to the development of innovative, AI-driven solutions to complex content moderation challenges. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and relish the opportunity to shape the strategic trajectory of a large global organization, this role offers an exciting prospect. The ideal candidate will possess demonstrated problem-solving abilities, sound business acumen, and a track record of collaborating with multiple teams to successfully deliver projects. They should exhibit a genuine passion for safeguarding the security and privacy of our users, and a strong understanding of how to leverage cutting-edge technology, like LLMs, to achieve that goal. Responsibilities Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with data scientists, #software engineers, machine learning engineers, and product managers to understand the recommendation engine. Deep Expertise in Recommender Systems: Leverage your expertise in machine learning and coding to gain an in-depth understanding of context-aware recommender systems. Understand Core System Components: Understanding of key modules in the recommender system, including recall, ranking, and reranking, ensuring high-quality, personalized recommendations at scale. End-to-End Ownership: In-depth understanding of the complete lifecycle of machine learning systems, from building and maintaining data pipelines and feature engineering, to training models and integrating them seamlessly into production environments. Ensure Security & Compliance: Work with cybersecurity teams to ensure that the recommender systems align with compliance standards and implement practices that enhance user trust and experience. Support Automation & Prototyping: Contribute to quick prototyping and proof-of-concept initiatives that automate rule reviews within the recommendation systems, ensuring both efficiency and compliance. Document & Ensure Accessibility: Build and maintain comprehensive documentation for data processes and machine learning models, ensuring transparency, accessibility, and consistency across teams.
