Machine Learning Engineer - E-Commerce Recommendation Live

Live commerce may be the hardest recommendation problem at TikTok. The "item" is a live room hosted by a real person: the product on display, the price, the crowd and even the auction clock change by the second. Purchase signals are sparse, intent shifts in real time, and a single session can take a user from a short video to a live room to checkout in under a minute.

It is also a business growing at remarkable speed. Content-driven live commerce has already reshaped retail in another major market, turning a content platform into one of its top three e-commerce players within a few years. TikTok Shop is now scaling that model rapidly across the US and global markets, with live commerce at the heart of its growth.
