At TikTok, our people are humble, intelligent, compassionate and creative. We create to inspire - for you, for us, and for more than 1 billion users on our platform.

Here, the opportunities are limitless for those who dare to pursue bold ideas that exist just beyond the boundary of possibility. Join us and make impact happen with a career at TikTok.
Our Trust & Safety team's commitment is to keep our online community safe. We have invested heavily in human and machine-based moderation to remove harmful content quickly and often before it reaches our general community.
Our Content Moderators support our efforts to address objectionable or disturbing content.

Content includes images, video, text related to every day life, but they can also include (but are not limited to) bullying; hate speech; child abuse; sexual assault; torture; bestiality; self-harm; suicide; murder.
Our Content Moderators review videos in continuous succession during each shift and it is possible that this role will be exposed to harmful content on a daily basis. This role also requires creative solutions, especially a deep understanding of abuse trends specific to US cultural norms and sensitivities. This position will be full-time and based in Austin, Texas.
