Vision Language Models/VLM Research Scientist Graduate (Trust and Safety) - 2026 Start (PhD)

Join the Foundations and Intelligence Service R&D team to build and improve LLM/VLM/Omni foundation models. You will enhance VLM performance with features like OCR and captioning, explore inference-efficient model architectures, and collaborate cross-functionally to apply VLMs to TikTok trust-and-safety use cases. The role also emphasizes evaluation, pre/post-training data processing, reinforcement learning-based alignment, and translating research insights to real-world outcomes and academia.
