We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, maybe Benefits, Pay, Schedule if present. The posting includes responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay (pay) compensation description, schedule? Not explicit schedule. Benefits described. Pay described. So we need sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities, there are bullet points under subheadings. We need to capture all responsibilities as list items. The responsibilities text includes paragraphs and bullet lists. We'll extract bullet points. Responsibilities section includes: - Define AI & Data Architecture Strategy: - Establish the target-state architecture for T&S data and AI capabilities, including data foundations, knowledge systems, AI platforms, and intelligent workflows. - Develop scalable architecture principles, standards, and reusable patterns across T&S teams. - Partner with cross-functional leaders to identify high-impact opportunities where AI and data can improve safety outcomes. - Build Scalable AI & Data Foundations: - Design AI-ready data models, data products, and architecture patterns to support analytics, machine learning, and GenAI applications. - Enable integration of diverse safety data sources, including policy knowledge, enforcement decisions, investigations, user reports, and operational signals. - Architect next-generation AI solutions using approaches such as RAG, knowledge systems, AI agents, and human-in-the-loop workflows. - Drive solutions from experimentation to reliable production by improving scalability, reliability, explainability, and governance. - Drive Technical Leadership & AI Transformation: - Act as a design authority for strategic AI and data initiatives across Trust & Safety. - Create reference architectures and best practices for responsible AI adoption. - Influence engineering, data science, product, and operations teams to accelerate AI-enabled safety transformation. - Mentor teams and raise overall architecture maturity across T&S. We also have introductory paragraph before bullet list: "The AI & Data Architect will define the AI and data foundation that enables Trust & Safety (T&S) to scale decision intelligence, automation, and operational excellence. This role will bridge AI, data, product, engineering, and safety teams to translate complex safety challenges into scalable solutions. The architect will shape technical strategy, establish reusable architecture patterns, and enable responsible adoption of AI across T&S." This is prose, should be in

    . Qualifications: Minimum Qualification(s): list bullet points? It's given as bullet list with hyphens. We'll capture each as

  • . Also Preferred Qualification(s): list bullet points. We also have a paragraph about Trust & Safety Content exposure etc. That's part of qualifications? It's more about role exposure. Should we include as part of Qualifications? It's not a qualification but a note. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that paragraph somewhere. It could be part of Qualifications section as a note, or maybe separate section? There's no explicit heading for that. It's under Qualifications after Preferred Qualification(s) maybe. We'll include as a

    within Qualifications after the lists. Benefits: described: "Employees have day one access to medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) savings plan with company match, paid parental leave, short-term and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, wellbeing benefits, among others. Employees also receive 10 paid holidays per year, 10 paid sick days per year and 17 days of Paid Personal Time (prorated upon hire with increasing accruals by tenure). The Company reserves the right to modify or change these benefits programs at any time, with or without notice." Also mention accommodation etc but that's separate. We'll capture benefits as list items? Could be prose. We'll make a

    • for each benefit item. Pay: compensation description: base salary range $219000 - $408000 annually. Also mention may vary, total package, bonuses, RSUs. We'll capture as

      maybe with details. Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. The accommodation paragraph is about reasonable accommodations; that's likely boilerplate? It's specific but could be considered EEO/accommodation. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Accommodation request is likely EEO-related. So we should drop that paragraph. Also drop "Job Information 【For Pay Transparency】Compensation Description (Annually)" maybe keep compensation but drop the label? We'll keep compensation details. Also drop "For Los Angeles County (unincorporated) Candidates: ..." that's legal boilerplate; drop. Also drop "Diversity & Inclusion" section? That's EEO/inclusion boilerplate; drop. Also drop "About TikTok", "Why Join Us", etc? Those are marketing boilerplate; remove. Thus final HTML includes sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Let's craft. Structure:

      Responsibilities

      The AI & Data Architect will define the AI and data foundation that enables Trust & Safety (T&S) to scale decision intelligence, automation, and operational excellence. This role will bridge AI, data, product, engineering, and safety teams to translate complex safety challenges into scalable solutions. The architect will shape technical strategy, establish reusable architecture patterns, and enable responsible adoption of AI across T&S.

      • Define AI & Data Architecture Strategy:
        • Establish the target-state architecture for T&S data and AI capabilities, including data foundations, knowledge systems, AI platforms, and intelligent workflows.
        • Develop scalable architecture principles, standards, and reusable patterns across T&S teams.
        • Partner with cross-functional leaders to identify high-impact opportunities where AI and data can improve safety outcomes.
      • Build Scalable AI & Data Foundations:
        • Design AI-ready data models, data products, and architecture patterns to support analytics, machine learning, and GenAI applications.
        • Enable integration of diverse safety data sources, including policy knowledge, enforcement decisions, investigations, user reports, and operational signals.
        • Architect next-generation AI solutions using approaches such as RAG, knowledge systems, AI agents, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
        • Drive solutions from experimentation to reliable production by improving scalability, reliability, explainability, and governance.
      • Drive Technical Leadership & AI Transformation:
        • Act as a design authority for strategic AI and data initiatives across Trust & Safety.
        • Create reference architectures and best practices for responsible AI adoption.
        • Influence engineering, data science, product, and operations teams to accelerate AI-enabled safety transformation.
        • Mentor teams and raise overall architecture maturity across T&S.
      But nested lists may be okay. However instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists. Could flatten but okay. Qualifications:

        Qualifications

        • 5+ years of experience in data architecture, AI systems, machine learning platforms, or related technical domains.
        • Strong experience designing scalable data ecosystems and AI-enabled applications.
        • Deep understanding of data architecture, machine learning lifecycle, GenAI architecture patterns (e.g., RAG, embeddings, knowledge systems), and responsible AI practices.
        • Ability to translate ambiguous business problems into scalable technical solutions and influence across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

        Preferred Qualification(s)

        but we cannot use h4; only h3 for section headings. We could incorporate preferred qualifications as a

        or as part of same list with a note. But we need to keep heading only when real content. Could create a

        Preferred Qualifications

        but that's another section. The instruction: Use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It didn't forbid other headings but said use h3 for section headings. Could we use h3 for Preferred Qualification? It's still a section heading. Might be okay but they'd prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Minimum and Preferred under Qualifications with a note. Let's do a

        for Preferred Qualification(s) paragraph. Thus:

        Trust & Safety Content that this role interacts with includes images, video, and text related to every-day life, but it can also include (but is not limited to) bullying; hate speech; child safety; depictions of harm to self and others, and harm to animals. Hence, it is possible that this role will be exposed to harmful content on a daily basis. TikTok recognises that keeping our platform safe for the TikTok communities is no ordinary job which can be both rewarding and psychologically demanding and emotionally taxing for some. This is why we are sharing the potential hazards, risks and implications in this unique line of work from the start, so our candidates are well informed before joining. We are committed to the wellbeing of all our employees and promise to provide comprehensive and evidence-based programs, to promote and support physical and mental wellbeing throughout each employee's journey with us. We believe that wellbeing is a relationship and that everyone has a part to play, so we work in collaboration and consultation with our employees and across our functions in order to ensure a truly person-centred, innovative and integrated approach.
