Role

Who you are

You are passionate about open source and want to make machine learning as accessible as possible. You have used TypeScript and a JS framework professionally (React or Svelte ideally). You are comfortable working directly with core web APIs (canvas, audio, etc.)
Ideally, you will have a few years of experience, always keeps users front and centre, and love collaborating. But as much as technical aptitude is important, we are looking for someone kind, thoughtful and engaged
If you're interested in joining us but don't tick every box above, we'd still encourage you to apply! We're building a diverse team whose skills, experiences, and backgrounds complement one another

What the job involves

As a frontend engineer, you will work with core web technologies and python to build complex UI components to empower users to develop powerful applications with minimal code
You will respond quickly to the constantly changing needs of our user base to enable new and more exciting use cases
You'll help maintain a popular open-source library and nurture an engaged and passionate open-source community, helping users to contribute to and use the tools you build
You'll collaborate with researchers, ML practitioners, data scientists and software engineers daily through GitHub, Discord and Slack

Our take

Large language models, which recognize and generate text, are already being used to auto-complete sentences, power chat bots, moderate content, summarize news articles, and translate text online. However, many of these advances are happening behind closed doors, stifling innovation and raising ethicacy concerns.

To combat this, Hugging Face is building the "GitHub of machine learning". It’s a community-driven platform with a ton of repositories, where developers can create, discover and collaborate on ML models, datasets and ML apps. This work led to the creation of BLOOM in 2022, an open-access LLM with similar architecture to OpenAI’s GPT, but that is multilingual by design.

The company also launched the Hugging Chat Assistant, an open-source tool to create personalised chat assistants, in direct competition to OpenAI's paid service ChatGPT Plus. By continually creating value based on a global community, not just for Microsoft or Google, HuggingFace should be able to carve out its own path for success.
