About the role

TikTok in San Jose invites applications for a Machine Learning Engineer Graduate (TikTok-Data-Search-Search Quality) with a 2027 start. This full-time program offers early-career engineers the chance to work on cutting-edge search, NLP, and CV methods within our Search Engineering Team. As a graduate, you will tackle real-world problems, contribute to user-facing search quality, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

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.
