Research Scientist/Software Engineer Manager, TikTok-Neural Graphics and World Models

Join the AI-3D engine team, where we push the boundaries of digital interaction by developing a proprietary next-generation neural engine for games and other interactive content experiences across TikTok and future creative platforms. Our goal is to move beyond traditional graphics pipelines, where geometry, animation, physics, materials, lighting, and rendering are primarily driven by handcrafted systems. We are exploring an AI-native graphics engine in which learned systems can generate and represent scenes, animate characters, simulate behavior, synthesize visual output, and continuously update interactive worlds in response to user intent and changing context.

This engine should enable digital worlds that are persistent, controllable, physically coherent, editable, and responsive.

We are looking for a Research Scientist / Engineer to develop AI models, neural representations, data strategies, and evaluation methods for our neural graphics system.
