About Video Creation Team:
- The opportunity to work on TikTok's audio and video creation experiences and build the next generation of AI-powered creative tools for users worldwide.
- A role centered on real product challenges and end-to-end delivery, without being siloed into Android- or iOS-only development.
- The opportunity to integrate AI coding deeply into everyday engineering and help shape the next generation of software development practices.
- Exposure to client-side development, backend systems, audio/video technologies, and AI agent engineering, giving you a broad and well-rounded technical perspective.
- We do not expect you to have mastered every technology stack before joining. We value strong fundamentals, learning agility, creativity, and the ability to turn ideas into working products.

We are looking for talented individuals to join our team. As a graduate, you will get opportunities to pursue bold ideas, tackle complex challenges, and unlock limitless growth.
Successful candidates must be able to commit to an onboarding date by the end of the year. 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 our Company and its affiliates' jobs globally. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis - we encourage you to apply early.

Responsibilities
- Contribute to the design, development, iteration, and delivery of TikTok's audio and video creation experiences, exploring AI-powered video editing, content generation, visual effects, and new creative workflows.
- Develop features for the TikTok client across Android, iOS, and other platforms, using AI coding tools to work across platforms and technology stacks.
- Deliver end-to-end features spanning client-side development, backend APIs, data processing, and AI capability integration.
- Explore the use of AI coding throughout the software development lifecycle-including requirements analysis, technical design, implementation, debugging, testing, and code review-to continuously improve engineering productivity and delivery quality.
- Help productionize AI agents for audio and video creation, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, compatibility, security, and user experience.
- Contribute to client architecture and engineering infrastructure, including modularization, cross-platform frameworks, audio/video capabilities, build tooling, development workflows, and developer productivity.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, machine learning engineers, backend engineers, and QA teams. With mentorship and guidance, analyze and solve key technical challenges and drive high-quality product delivery.
