About the role

TikTok is seeking interns for its Search Ads team to work on large-scale ads systems, NLP, and ranking strategies. You will apply machine learning to improve ad relevance and delivery, while exploring real-world challenges across multiple apps. We offer hands-on experience, industry exposure, and opportunities to contribute to product strategy while gaining professional growth. Expect a collaborative environment with access to health benefits and housing allowances where applicable.

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.
