About the team
The TikTok Marketing API team is responsible for building and managing the foundational programmatic infrastructure for TikTok’s advertising ecosystem, while enabling next-generation AI-native marketing workflows. Our scope includes Marketing APIs, Organic APIs, Business Messaging APIs, developer platforms, SDKs, CLI tooling, MCP and agentic integrations, AI ecosystem enablement, and technology partner and agency co-development. We build the products and platform capabilities that allow developers, partners, agencies, and AI agents to programmatically create, manage, optimize, and scale advertising workflows on TikTok.
About the role
As a Senior Product Manager, AI Developer Platform, you will own key developer-facing platform products that power TikTok’s API and AI-native advertising ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of developer platforms, advertising technology, AI tooling, and partner ecosystems. You will be responsible for defining and building products that help developers and partners integrate with TikTok more effectively, including APIs, SDKs, CLI workflows, MCP tooling, agentic enablement, documentation systems, developer experience improvements, and platform infrastructure. You will work closely with engineering, product, product marketing, developer relations, partnerships, sales, and external technology partners to identify developer pain points, define product requirements, and ship scalable platform capabilities. This role is ideal for someone who can move fluidly between product strategy and technical detail: someone who understands developer needs, can reason about API design and integration patterns, has strong judgment on AI-native workflows, and can translate market and partner signals into a clear product roadmap.
Responsibilities:
- Define and own the product roadmap for AI developer platform capabilities across APIs, SDKs, CLI tooling, MCP integrations, agentic workflows, documentation, and developer experience.
- Partner closely with engineering to design and ship scalable developer-facing products, including API capabilities, authentication flows, tooling, schemas, validation systems, sandbox environments, observability, and integration support infrastructure.
- Deeply understand the needs of developers, technology partners, agencies, advertisers, and emerging AI agent ecosystems; translate those needs into clear product requirements and platform priorities.
- Evaluate how AI-native workflows, MCP/tool-calling standards, agent frameworks, and developer tooling trends should influence TikTok’s API and platform strategy.
- Drive product discovery across external partners and internal teams, including opportunity sizing, competitive analysis, workflow research, technical feasibility assessment, and developer feedback synthesis.
- Collaborate with partner-facing teams to identify integration pain points, product gaps, adoption blockers, and opportunities to make TikTok’s platform easier for developers and AI agents to use.
- Define success metrics for developer platform products, including adoption, integration quality, time to first successful call, developer satisfaction, API usage, feature adoption, error reduction, and partner business impact.
- Work across TikTok’s API surfaces, including Marketing APIs, Organic APIs, Business Messaging APIs, and emerging AI/agentic product capabilities.
- Align with senior leadership on product vision, platform priorities, investment tradeoffs, and long-term AI ecosystem strategy.
- Create clear product narratives, requirements documents, launch plans, and internal/external enablement materials to drive alignment and adoption.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
- 5 years or more of product management or closely related experience in developer platforms, API products, SaaS platforms, advertising technology, AI products, or enterprise software.
- Experience owning technical products such as APIs, SDKs, developer tools, platform infrastructure, integrations, automation products, or workflow systems.
- Strong technical fluency with APIs, authentication, request/response structures, webhooks, integration patterns, developer workflows, and system interactions.
- Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous developer, partner, or market needs into clear product strategy, requirements, roadmap priorities, and measurable outcomes.
- Strong analytical and business judgment; comfortable using data, metrics, developer feedback, partner insights, and market signals to make product decisions.
- Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, product marketing, partnerships, sales, developer relations, operations, and external technology partners.
- Ability to communicate complex technical and strategic topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience building or managing AI-native developer platforms, agent tooling, MCP servers/tools, AI workflow products, LLM-integrated applications, or developer tools for AI agents.
- Experience with advertising APIs, marketing technology platforms, commerce platforms, or partner ecosystem products.
- Familiarity with AI application stacks, including LLMs, tool calling, agents, MCP, RAG, evaluation, prompt/tool design, workflow orchestration, and AI-assisted developer experiences.
- Experience with developer experience products such as SDKs, CLIs, docs platforms, sandboxes, debugging tools, schema validation, sample apps, or integration testing frameworks.
- Experience working with external developers, agencies, technology partners, or enterprise customers on technical integrations.
- Strong product sense for platform design, including balancing flexibility, usability, reliability, scalability, governance, and ecosystem growth.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Platform Developer
Frame your degree for U.S. specialty occupation
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 visa purposes. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before applying so employers and USCIS see your qualification mapped to U.S. standards.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs for platform or software developer roles. Employers already familiar with the LCA process are far less likely to hesitate when you disclose your E-3 sponsorship requirement.
Address the no-lottery advantage in your outreach
Many U.S. hiring managers assume all work visas involve the H-1B lottery. Clarify upfront that your E-3 requires no lottery entry, no annual cap wait, and can be filed after an offer is accepted, which removes the timing risk employers typically fear.
Verify your role's SOC code before the LCA
Platform Developer roles can map to multiple Standard Occupational Classification codes, and the SOC code determines the prevailing wage DOL certifies on your LCA. Confirm the code your employer plans to use aligns with your actual duties before filing begins.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the end-to-end process
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the LCA submission, I-129 preparation, and consulate appointment documentation so neither you nor your employer needs to coordinate multiple service providers across the filing timeline.
Prepare your E-3 documents before your consulate appointment
Bring the certified LCA, DS-160 confirmation, your employment offer letter, and degree credentials to your Australian consulate interview. Missing the certified LCA or carrying an uncertified draft is one of the most common reasons E-3 appointments stall at the window.
E-3 Visa Platform Developer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Platform Developer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Platform Developer roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship. Standard job boards rarely filter by visa type, which means you spend time on roles that won't move forward. Migrate Mate surfaces positions specifically matched to Australian E-3 candidates, so your search is focused from the start.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
How does the E-3 visa compare to H-1B for Platform Developer roles?
Both visas cover Platform Developer roles as specialty occupations, but the E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, which means you can apply any time of year after receiving an offer. H-1B registrations enter a randomized lottery each March with no guarantee of selection. For Australian citizens, the E-3 is the more predictable path into a U.S. platform engineering role.
Does my Australian university degree qualify for an E-3 Platform Developer application?
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related discipline is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 specialty occupation purposes. A credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator documents the equivalency formally, which strengthens your LCA and DS-160 submissions if USCIS or the consular officer requests evidence.
Can I switch Platform Developer employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but the new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll typically need a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the United States unless you change status while already stateside. There's no portability rule for the E-3 the way AC21 applies to H-1B holders, so your authorization to work is tied directly to the employer named on the certified LCA and visa.
