Responsibilities

Define and own the roadmap for AI developer platform capabilities across APIs, SDKs, CLI tooling, MCP integrations, and developer experience.
Collaborate with engineering to design and ship scalable developer-facing products, including APIs, auth flows, tooling, schemas and sandbox envs.
Deeply understand needs of developers, technology partners, agencies, advertisers, and AI agent ecosystems; translate to product requirements and priorities.
Evaluate how AI-native workflows, MCP/tool-calling standards, agent frameworks, and tooling trends should influence API and platform strategy.
Drive product discovery across external partners and internal teams, including opportunity sizing, competitive analysis, workflow research, technical feasibility assessment, and developer feedback synthesis.
Collaborate with partner-facing teams to identify integration pain points, adoption blockers, and opportunities to make TikTok’s platform easier for developers and AI agents to use.
Define success metrics for developer platform products: adoption, integration quality, time to first successful call, developer satisfaction, API usage.
Work across TikTok’s API surfaces, including Marketing APIs, Organic APIs, Business Messaging APIs, and emerging AI/agentic product capabilities.
Align with senior leadership on product vision, platform priorities, investment tradeoffs, and long-term AI ecosystem strategy.
Create clear product narratives, requirements documents, launch plans, and internal/external enablement materials to drive alignment and adoption.
