Hugging Face is hiring an Open-Source Machine Learning Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for an Open-Source Machine Learning Engineer who specializes in computer vision to help expand and refine powerful, accessible tools within one of the most widely adopted AI ecosystems. You'll play a key role in advancing libraries that support vision and multi-modal models, ensuring they remain intuitive, scalable, and production-ready.

What You'll Do

  • Enhance and maintain open-source frameworks to improve support for computer vision and cross-modal applications.
  • Design and refine tools that simplify how developers interact with state-of-the-art vision models.
  • Collaborate directly with researchers, engineers, and data scientists across GitHub, forums, and community channels.
  • Guide contributors, review code, and help others adopt best practices in model development and deployment.
  • Support a global community of AI practitioners by making advanced tools more approachable and widely usable.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in computer vision, including areas like object detection, segmentation, generative modeling, or multi-modal systems.
  • A strong history of open-source contributions, particularly in vision-related libraries or frameworks.
  • Experience optimizing models for performance and scalability in real-world environments.
  • Passion for mentoring, code review, and working across distributed teams.
  • Commitment to making cutting-edge AI accessible to developers and organizations of all sizes.

Technology Environment

You'll work extensively with Transformers, Datasets, Diffusers, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and established vision tools like OpenCV, Detectron2, and MMDetection.

Work & Culture

This role supports remote work with flexible hours. Employees receive support for home setups and have opportunities to connect at hubs in NYC and Paris. We prioritize inclusion, continuous learning, and real-world impact. All team members receive equity, and we actively support participation in conferences and professional development.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants regardless of background. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, age, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
