Responsibilities

The TikTok Design team shapes the end-to-end experience of TikTok and related international products. Our product designers, creative designers, content designers work alongside localization specialists across short video, social, search, LIVE, local servcies and short drama.

Bringing coherence to a product used across different cultures, languages, devices, and ways of engaging with content is the central challenge. We combine global design principles with regional insight, balancing familiarity with experimentation as new formats, technologies, and user needs emerge. Individual feature decisions must also connect naturally with the wider product experience.

You will collaborate with product, research, engineering, operations, and other design disciplines from early exploration through implementation. This creates opportunities to influence product direction, work across varied creative and interaction challenges, and see how design helps people express themselves, discover different perspectives, and connect with others.

TikTok Design Team is to provide first-class user experience for hundreds of millions of users around the world, thereby helping them create and express better, discover the diversity and beauty of the world, break down more barriers, and build bridges between people. We are an international design team with Product Designer, Creative Designer, Visual Designer, Content Designer and Localization Expert from all over the world working together to make every impossible possible.

As a Project Intern, you will contribute to impactful short-term projects and gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, professional environment. This internship offers the opportunity to develop practical skills, apply your knowledge to real-world challenges, and explore your career interests.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early.
