About the role
TikTok is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer, Business Governance, to build trust and safety systems in a fast-paced environment in San Jose. You will work on multimodal content understanding, risk detection, and scalable moderation using cutting-edge AI tech and large models. You will own training and deployment of LLMs/MLLMs, applying post-training techniques like SFT and RLHF, while collaborating with cross‐functional teams to deliver robust safety solutions.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
