AI Evaluation & Enablement Specialist Intern (TikTok ADSO) - 2027 Start

About the Team

Generative AI and large language models are reshaping the core capabilities of global content platforms — and high-quality training and evaluation data is one of the key factors that determines a model's ceiling.

We are the AI Data Service & Operations team behind TikTok's international products, responsible for producing multilingual, multimodal data assets across both safety and non-safety domains. The standards we set and the data we deliver power two critical fronts: TikTok's global content ecosystem governance strategy on one side, and the training and evaluation pipelines for AI / large language models on the other. In short, we produce the fuel that helps models truly understand content, communities, and users around the world.

The AI Evaluation & Enablement Specialist is responsible for evaluating content and AI/model performance through data annotation, analysing evaluation data, and applying AI, analytics and automation capabilities to improve evaluation accuracy, coverage and efficiency. The role also enable BPO quality improvements through calibration, performance insights and training intelligence, while partnering with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for model, process and operational improvement.

We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. Our internship program offers students hands-on experience, industry exposure, and opportunities to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges while building a strong foundation for personal and professional growth.

Interns will gain practical experience, explore potential career paths, and participate in social events, learning programs, and development workshops alongside industry professionals.

Candidates may apply to a maximum of two positions across Our Company and its affiliates globally. Applications will be considered in the order they are submitted.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume, including your start and end dates.

• Identify BPO performance, knowledge and process gaps, and translate findings into targeted training, coaching, enablement and performance improvement initiatives.
• Drive continuous improvement in evaluation quality, scalability and efficiency by partnering with Product Ops, cross-functional teams and BPO stakeholders, while supporting AI experimentation, automation, tool testing and technology-enabled workflow adoption.
