3 min read
TikTok internships for 2027 include many roles outside engineering. When we checked the TikTok company page on Intern Insider on November 8, 2026, it listed 542 open internships. Intern Insider pages refresh about once a day, so treat that as a snapshot. The page shows 200 of those listings, so it is a starting point rather than a complete directory. Many of the roles we read are in creator operations, partnerships, data, and product for teams such as TikTok Local Services and SoundOn, which its postings describe as a music distribution and creator growth platform.
How TikTok internships work#
TikTok posting titles usually name the team and end with 2027 Start. Each posting has a location field near the top, and the requirements sit under Minimum Qualifications. Eight of the 10 postings we read say you may apply to a maximum of two positions across the company and its affiliates globally, considered in the order you submit them. Choose those two applications with care.
Commitment lengths are set per posting. The Data Operations and Music Partnerships postings ask for a minimum of 12 weeks. The Public Policy posting asks for 14 weeks in the summer and onsite work 4 to 5 days a week.
Creator operations and partnerships#
Travel Creator Operations Intern, TikTok Local Services, Los Angeles
Dine-In Creator Operations Intern, TikTok Local Services, Los Angeles
Dine-In Business Development Intern, TikTok Local Services, Los Angeles
The four TikTok Local Services postings ask for students currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in business, marketing, or a related discipline, with strong analytical skills and the ability to turn data into recommendations. The Travel Partnerships posting lists Seattle as its location, and the other three list Los Angeles. The Music Partnerships posting in Los Angeles asks for an undergraduate degree in progress in a product operations related discipline, experience building AI skills, agents, or automated workflows, and a basic understanding of streaming, distribution, or music rights.
Data, product, and engineering#
GEO Content Product Manager Intern, TikTok Local Services, San Jose
POI Content Product Manager Intern, TikTok Local Services, San Jose
The Data Operations posting asks for an undergraduate degree in progress in statistics, mathematics, computer science, data science, economics, or a related field, and experience with SQL and Tableau or similar tools. The two product manager postings in San Jose ask for an undergraduate degree in progress in computer science, artificial intelligence, or a related discipline. POI stands for point of interest.
The Software Engineer (TikTok BRIC) posting is for PhD students only. Its title ends with 2027 Start (PhD), and it asks for a PhD in progress in computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, software engineering, data science, or a related technical field.
Public policy#
The Public Policy posting lists Washington D.C. as its location. It asks for a bachelor's degree in progress in public policy or a related tech-policy discipline, experience on the Hill with writing experience, and 14 weeks in the summer working onsite 4 to 5 days a week. It also says the company does not provide sponsorship for this position.
Applying#
The roles above are 10 of the 542 listed on November 8, and many more TikTok engineering and machine learning roles are on the company page. Because most of the postings we read limit you to two applications, read the minimum qualifications closely and apply where your degree and experience match. For operations and partnerships roles, show analysis you have done and the decision it led to. Our marketing internships guide and data science internships guide cover more employers in those fields.
