About the job
Build machine-learning models and large-scale systems for TikTok Ads signal quality, identity resolution, attribution, and measurement, and apply their outputs to ad ranking and delivery.
What you'll do
- Develop signal-quality models, identity-resolution methods, and attribution and incrementality models.
- Feed signal, identity, and attribution outputs into ads ranking, and help build experimentation infrastructure and data pipelines.
- Explore LLM-based understanding and correction of conversion signals; collaborate to bring algorithmic ideas into production.
What they ask for
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or above degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Solid foundation in machine learning and statistics, including hypothesis testing, regression, and probabilistic models; ideally causal inference.
- Strong programming skills in at least one of Python, Go, Java, or C/C++, and solid knowledge of data structures and algorithms.
- Hands-on ML experience through coursework, research, internships, or personal projects.
Nice to have
- Experience in computational advertising, ranking, causal inference or A/B experimentation, entity resolution or graph learning, anomaly detection, or applied LLMs/NLP.
- Publications or strong competition performance; experience with Spark, Flink, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.
Tools
Python, Go, Java, C/C++, Spark, Flink, PyTorch, TensorFlow
AI focus
Machine learning for signal quality, identity resolution, attribution, incrementality measurement, and ad ranking; LLMs for semantic understanding, classification, quality assessment, and automated correction of conversion signals.
