About this role
Global E-commerce is a discovery-driven e-commerce business, working to become a destination for users to discover and buy good products at affordable prices. We build a shopping experience that feels tailored to each user, and a platform merchants can rely on across live and short-video commerce.
The European E-commerce team expands that business into Europe and other new markets. We work with product and operations teams to set goals and develop independent product functions, and with global R&D teams to build the systems European businesses run on.
Building from the ground up is literal here. New markets need independent product functions and systems from day one, including global multi-data center scheduling, stability governance, and disaster recovery. You will own products and systems from the start, shaping how TikTok Shop launches and grows in new markets.
