About the Team
The Intelligent Creation - Global GenAI team focuses on applied research in Generative AI, and delivers intelligent solutions to Tiktok, enabling users to make and share creative content in a much easier way. The team has research groups dedicated to multimodal foundation models for content creation, image/video generation and editing, efficient modeling, and world models.

Topic Content:
As AGI large model technology advances, the way AI creates multimodal images, text, and videos is changing deeply. New creative solutions based on generative AI and agent technologies keep appearing. Multimodal creation large models use cutting-edge methods like full-modal content understanding, AIGC image and video generation, and agentic foundation models to build flexible, efficient, and industry-leading ways to create multimedia content. Through continual training and post-training, these models steadily raise their abilities in content understanding and image/video generation, optimizing the foundational models end to end for creation agent scenarios.

Challenges:
- Deeply involving in post-training (SFT/RL) of Seed multimodal models and LLM.
- Participating in unified modeling for image and video generation, driving model performance improvements, and gaining hands-on experience in model iteration and large-scale training.
- Applying agent technology and architecture, optimizing tool-calling and long-horizon task capabilities of agentic foundation models, and conducting in-depth research on agentic RL.

Research value:
This topic focuses on the multimodal creation transformation in the AGI era, relying on full-modal understanding, AIGC generation, and agentic foundation models to build an efficient and intelligent multimedia creation system. Through ongoing training and model optimization, it constantly pushes forward content generation and understanding abilities, moving AI creation from reactive generation toward autonomous intelligence. This topic combines cutting-edge technology with practical industry value, providing core support for the next generation of intelligent creation.

Responsibilities
- Conduct cutting-edge research and development in computer vision and machine learning, especially in the areas of generative AI (e.g. image, video, or 3d generation).
- Transfer advanced technologies to TikTok and other products;
- Explore new products with artificial intelligence technology at its core.

The base salary range for this position in the selected city is $244800 - $588000 annually.
