About the Role
This role combines prompt engineering expertise with deep content moderation and labeling knowledge. Prompt Writers must understand policies and labeling workflows inside-out to effectively troubleshoot, iterate, and optimize AI prompts.
As a Prompt Writer Specialist, you will play a crucial role in designing and refining prompts to enhance the performance of AI models. You will also review and label text, images, videos, advertisements, and other content to improve TikTok's AI-powered moderation systems.
Your work will directly contribute to the development of machine learning models that detect policy-violating content, improve moderation accuracy, and support product innovation across multiple business lines. By aligning model outputs with policies through prompt engineering, you'll help ensure that AI systems understand and moderate online content responsibly.
This role requires strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to make consistent decisions in a fast-paced environment.
