Our focus is on providing oversight and protection of the TikTok platform and user data in the U.S., so millions of Americans can continue turning to TikTok to learn something new, earn a living, express themselves creatively, or be entertained. The teams within USDS that deliver on this commitment daily span Trust & Safety, Security & Privacy, Engineering, User & Product Ops, Corporate Functions and more.
Team Introduction
TikTok's Data Platform Team focuses on challenges in the areas of data infrastructure and data products. The team is in charge of various aspects including Query Engine, Logging and Data Ingestion Infra, Experimentation Platform, as well as Workflow Management Platform. The goal is to support ad-hoc/interactive queries, batch pipelines, logging and ingesting large amounts of realtime data, and supporting A/B testing for all product features launches.
In order to enhance collaboration and cross-functional partnerships, among other things, at this time, our organization follows a hybrid work schedule that requires employees to work in the office 3 days a week, or as directed by their manager/department. We regularly review our hybrid work model, and the specific requirements may change at any time.
