TikTok is looking to hire tech talent across SEA to build on its eCommerce offering. On LinkedIn, the social media platform has posted for jobs for data engineers, software engineers, and tech leads in Singapore under its TikTok eCommerce arm. Similarly, it has opened up nine job opportunities for eCommerce in Indonesia, including user and campaign operation specialist, category lead, business development, and customer service specialist.
This comes after TikTok was reportedly planning "an aggressive expansion" into eCommerce in the United States, according to
The Financial Times, which quoted its sources. The video-hosting app is said to have briefed advertisers on "a number of new features" it will be rolling out this year. This includes a tool that allows selected users to share links to products and earn commission for any sales converted, even if they are not sponsored by the brands.
