600 jobs for "Storage Architect"

Responsibilities

Team Introduction
Our Recommendation Architecture Team is responsible for building and optimizing the architecture of the recommendation system to provide the most stable and best experience for TikTok users. The team focuses on optimizing the recommendation system architecture, ensuring stability and high availability, and improving the performance of both online services and offline data flows. Collaborating with the algorithm team, we work to enhance recommendation effectiveness and user experience, boost system performance while reducing costs, build data and service mid-platforms, and realize flexible and scalable high-performance storage and computing systems.

We are looking for talented individuals to join our team in 2026. As a graduate, you will get opportunities to pursue bold ideas, tackle complex challenges, and unlock limitless growth. Launch your career where inspiration is infinite at TikTok.

Successful candidates must be able to commit to an onboarding date by end of year 2026. Please state your availability and graduation date clearly in your resume.

Candidates can apply to a maximum of two positions and will be considered for jobs in the order you apply. The application limit is applicable to TikTok and its affiliates' jobs globally. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis - we encourage you to apply early.

Responsibilities
1. Strategy Management and Optimization:
Build an intelligent system to achieve standardized definition of recommendation strategies, long-term and offline evaluation, automatic identification and retirement of ineffective strategies, and removal of related code configurations.
2. Adaptive Tuning and Fault Diagnosis:
Leverage large model capabilities to optimize parameters and configurations of systems and underlying components for diverse business loads in recommendation systems. Explore adaptive fault diagnosis solutions to provide global perspective for fault tracking, localization, and analysis.
3. Cost-Efficiency Balance:
Address the high costs of model training and operation when applying generative technologies to recommendation systems, balancing costs and efficiency to achieve effective recommendation within limited resources.
4. Cross-Domain Data Processing:
Handle massive heterogeneous data in horizontal cross-domain scenarios (e.g., e-commerce), improve and ensure data quality and accuracy, standardize data supply for cross-domain recommendation models, and enable low-cost cross-terminal services. Meanwhile, ensure data privacy, security, and compliance.
5. Data Storage and Quality Enhancement:
Develop low-cost, high-performance storage engines, design flexible Schema Evolution mechanisms, achieve high-concurrency real-time data writing and training-inference consistency. Deeply explore the quantitative relationship between data quality and model prediction performance, and build data-model correlation analysis tools and automated training data processing pipelines based on the DCAI (Data-Centric AI) concept.
6. Multimodal Data and Heterogeneous Computing:
Construct a multimodal data heterogeneous computing framework for recommendation systems to solve challenges in data reading, framework integration, and high-performance operator orchestration, improving data processing and model training efficiency. Establish a developer ecosystem centered on Python.
7. Large-scale computing Model Efficiency Optimization for Recommendation:
With continuous breakthroughs of large models in CV/NLP/multimodal fields and even towards AGI, large computing-driven recommendation scenarios enable models to more comprehensively and profoundly understand user preferences, thereby better interpreting user needs, excavating latent interests, and delivering superior user experiences. Larger-scale recommendation models demand greater computing. To balance computing overhead and effectiveness gains requires in-depth Co-Design by architecture and algorithm engineers.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:
- Final year Phd graduates in Computer Science, engineering or quantitative field.
- Priority will be given to candidates with in-depth research results and extensive practical experience in relevant fields, such as outstanding performance in natural language processing, computer vision, data modeling, or algorithm optimization, etc.
- Excellent programming abilities with a strong command of data structures and fundamental algorithms. For traditional coding roles, proficiency in C/C++ is required; for intelligent coding roles, proficiency in Python is required.

Preferred Qualification:
- Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with team members, such as algorithm engineers, data analysts, and product managers, to explore new technologies and drive innovation in e-commerce generative recommendation systems.
