We also take our responsibility to safeguard our community seriously, both in how we address potentially harmful content and how we protect against unauthorized access to user data.
U.S. Data Security (“USDS”) is a standalone department of TikTok in the U.S. This new security-first division was created to bring heightened focus and governance to our data protection policies and content assurance protocols to keep U.S. users safe. 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.
The Trust & Safety team at TikTok helps ensure that our global community is safe and empowered to create and enjoy content across all of our applications.
We are seeking an experienced Threat Data Scientist to join the Trust and Safety organization within USDS. You will use your investigative and adversarial mindset to help us identify our gaps before nefarious actors beat us to it. You will support a team of cross-functional subject matter experts in technical feature abuse, commerce, monetization, illegal activities, and recidivism to data mine threat actor abuse tactics, develop predictive models, and conduct comprehensive proactive and reactive investigations. You will closely collaborate with other engineers and behavioral scientists to resolve complex threats that reach across topic or feature areas and may require network analysis and the creation of detection pipelines, prioritizing actionability in your recommendations, and continually iterating solutions to scale your impact. The work of the Investigations and Insights team is critical to TikTok user safety, and the Threat Data Scientist will have the opportunity to identify and mitigate the most harmful threats targeting the platform and our users.
