  1. 1. Recruiter Screen

    Initial chat about background and interest in TikTok.

  2. 2. Technical Screen / HM Screen

    Coding, skill-based task, or deep dive with the manager.

  3. 3. Onsite Loop

    3-5 rounds covering technical depth, product thinking/system design, and cultural alignment.
