Job Description

About the team

Our Search Team focuses on LLM application algorithms for TikTok Search, with core scenarios including AI Search and TikTok AI Bot. We build search question-answer cards via LLM-powered generation and develop TikTok's official AI assistant, leveraging LLM ChatBot, Agent, and RAG technologies to deliver accurate, real-time responses. By closely integrating technical innovation with business scenarios, we bridge users with information and services, driving TikTok's business growth.

Responsibilities:

- Build AI Search Agents with planning, memory, and tool-use capabilities. Apply reinforcement learning, knowledge representation, and automated decision-making to solve complex problems end-to-end.

- Enhance LLM-based query understanding: process multi-turn conversations, conduct semantic analysis on queries and documents, and ensure accurate, objective search results via LLM reasoning.

- Optimize RAG and LLM pipelines: improve retrieval and ranking algorithms, train and optimize LLMs for answer generation (e.g., fine-tuning, inference optimization), and enhance the relevance and structured presentation of search results.

- Translate research (e.g., Agent/LLM innovations) into production, collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive product upgrades.
