"TikTok's US plans are up in the air due to a divest-or-ban law that puts its future in jeopardy. But it's still offering six-figure salaries to workers this year in key areas like e-commerce and artificial intelligence. It's sought to hire data scientists to sharpen its search algorithm, court workers to grow its e-commerce platform TikTok Shop, and bring in machine learning engineers to improve its content feed and recommendations."
"The company's jobs portal lists over 1,800 open roles in the US in cities like Austin, San Jose, Seattle, and New York. Like other Big Tech firms, work expectations at TikTok and its owner, ByteDance, are demanding. The company runs performance reviews twice a year, and low scorers can be placed on performance-improvement plans or even shown the door. But the opportunity to work at one of the most influential tech companies in the world continues to draw in talent."
"Outside e-commerce, TikTok is shaking up areas like music marketing and young people's news habits. If it can navigate political tides in the US and China, where ByteDance was founded, it will stand alongside YouTube and a few other players in shaping the next phase of media. "From a career growth standpoint, you have access to huge budgets and big names," a former staffer said of working at TikTok. "Everyone in the industry wants to talk to you.""
TikTok faces legal uncertainty in the US due to a divest‑or‑ban law but continues to recruit for high-paying roles in e-commerce and artificial intelligence. The company is hiring data scientists to improve search, machine-learning engineers to refine feed recommendations, and staff to expand TikTok Shop. More than 1,800 US roles are listed across cities including Austin, San Jose, Seattle, and New York. Work expectations are demanding, with semiannual performance reviews and potential performance‑improvement plans for low scorers. ByteDance and TikTok typically do not publish salaries publicly but submit pay ranges in federal filings for foreign hires. Reported base-pay figures often exclude equity and other benefits.
