Ads Click Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Responsibilities
A "creative" is the ad (in the form of a short-form video) served to TikTok users, composed of video, background music, call-to-action card, post-click landing page, and other formats that get delivered to users. A quote goes "creativity is the soul of advertising", because a good ad creative is effective, yet difficult to produce, especially at the scale of TikTok advertising. The TikTok Ads Creative & Ecosystem team's mission is to solve the above dilemma, by building industry-leading tech solutions for ads creative/landing page understanding, production/generation, and optimization, to inspire and empower advertisers, creators, and other 3rd parties in the ecosystem to create and deliver the best engaging creative experiences to the end users. Our work is at the core of TikTok and creator monetization. Examples of our team's work include TikTok video editor, AI-powered smart video generation (we are also exploring AIGC), and TikTok creative exchange (a creative marketplace to connect TikTok advertisers with creators or third-party creative agencies). We are user/product oriented and dedicated to technical excellence. We aim to drive and lead the technology renovation in the ads tech and creative industry, powering products and driving values for our clients, creators, and the whole ecosystem. We are looking for software engineers who are excited to grow their business understanding, build highly scalable and reliable software/infrastructure, partner across functions with global teams, and make big impacts. If you are someone who welcomes challenges, we are eager to have you on the team! Responsibilities: 1. Contribute to the development of innovative products that support brand and influencer collaborations, utilizing core technical skills such as AI and content understanding. 2. Assist in executing strategic goals and providing technical support to drive business growth within TikTok ads and creator monetization. 3. Collaborate with senior team members to learn and develop technical leadership skills in the creative ecosystem. 4. Help design and implement key projects within the creator monetization ecosystem, under guidance from more experienced colleagues. 5. Participate in building scalable and reliable systems that support product objectives and requirements. 6. Support the creation of long-term technical roadmaps and contribute to ongoing technical decision-making. 7. Work closely with global R&D and product management teams in a fast-paced, collaborative environment to execute projects.
