Machine Learning Engineer in the Optimization team - EMEA remote

At Hugging Face, we’re on a journey to democratize good AI. We are building the fastest growing platform for AI builders with over 5 million users 100k organizations who collectively shared over 1M models, 300k datasets 300k apps. Our open-source libraries have more than 400k+ stars on Github.

Transformers in NLP pushed forward the computational requirements and the trend started to expand to other modalities such as Computer Vision and Speech which are actively adopting Transformer architectures to build the latest state-of-the-art models.

About the Role

Hugging Face has become the most popular, community-driven project for training, sharing, and deploying the most advanced machine learning models. Workload efficiency is key to our mission of democratizing state of the art and we are always looking to push the boundaries for faster, and more efficient ways to train and deploy models.

If you like digging into the dark side of low-level system integrations, compiler support, and framework optimizations: we should talk!

We are looking for talented people to join the Hugging Face Special Ops team, focusing on:

• Bridging 🤗 transformers models with state-of-the-art AI hardware
• Ensuring the above models meet the expected performance
• Designing easy to use and proficient Developer Experience for our users
• Deploying these models in the most efficient and scalable way.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the edge of AI on both model architectures and hardware technologies! As additional material, you may want to take a look at the recent announcement about the collaboration with GraphCore on IPUs to get a better sense of what it means in practice 🤗.

About You

You’ll enjoy working in this team if you like digging into the dark side of low-level system integrations, compiler support, and framework optimizations. At the intersection of software engineering and machine learning, you would be in charge of integrating the latest features from our hardware partners in Python/C++, designing rich and easy Python APIs in the continuity of what Hugging Face did with transformers, tokenizers, and the datasets library with a strong focus on performances. Linux or embedded devices experience would be a great plus for the job.
