12,046 jobs for "Performance Engineer"

Responsibilities

Team Introduction:
Our Team is responsible for the design and development of the Recommendation and Search system architecture for TikTok. It ensures the stability and high availability of the system, optimizes the performance of online services and offline data streams, resolves system bottlenecks, and reduces cost overheads. The team also abstracts the common components and services of the system, builds the recommendation middle - office and data middle - office to support the rapid incubation of new products and enable ToB services.

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.

Responsibilities
As business scenarios become increasingly complex, search, advertising, and recommendation are facing significant challenges. While large models can accurately capture user preferences and enhance personalization as well as content quality, they also impose stringent requirements on real-time performance, stability, and scalability. This introduces substantial technical challenges in areas such as distributed training, inference acceleration, heterogeneous hardware utilization, and multimodal data processing.
At the same time, the rapid growth in model scale and the proliferation of multimodal data have made it difficult for existing infrastructure to meet the demands of data processing efficiency and resource utilization. Our Team focuses on system and engineering innovations to overcome key technical bottlenecks and build efficient, stable, and scalable large-model solutions, providing a robust technical foundation for search, advertising, and recommendation scenarios.
- Building next-generation generative AI infrastructure for search, advertising, and recommendation businesses.
- Through the co-design of large models, multimodal technologies, and system-level innovations, we aim to overcome performance bottlenecks and enable ultra-long context handling, millisecond-level response latency, and high-precision information understanding, thereby driving intelligent upgrades across the business.

Qualifications
