Machine Learning Engineer Intern (E-Commerce Recommendation Video)- 2027 Summer
TikTok, Seattle, Washington
About the job
Team Introduction
Global E-Commerce (TikTok Shop) is one of TikTok's fastest-growing businesses and a core driver of the company's revenue growth. Our Global E-Commerce Content Recommendation team owns the end-to-end recommendation stack for e-commerce video and image-text content on TikTok worldwide — retrieval, ranking, and multi-queue blending; supply ecosystem and cold start; and the browsing-to-purchase experience for hundreds of millions of users.
We believe recommendation is being rewritten in the compute era. ID-based collaborative filtering and supervised learning built today's systems and still run most of the industry — but their returns are diminishing, and we are betting the next order of magnitude on rebuilding the stack on LLM foundations. Our ambition is to build the most advanced recommendation system in the world, and the next generation after that.
We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. Our internship program offers students hands-on experience, industry exposure, and opportunities to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges while building a strong foundation for personal and professional growth.
