Ml Research Engineer

Summary

Join Hugging Face, a leading platform for AI builders, and contribute to our groundbreaking work on LLM agents. We're launching a moonshot project focused on GUI agents, and you'll play a key role in building and improving our agent technologies. Your responsibilities will span the entire agent stack, from maintaining existing libraries to developing new ones, preparing datasets, and training models. You will leverage our H100 cluster for large-scale processing and release your work to the open-source community. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in the rapidly evolving field of AI. We offer a collaborative and supportive environment, along with competitive benefits and equity.

Requirements

• Be enthusiastic about agents
• Be a generalist engineer with an ability to pick up new frameworks quickly and willing to work across the stack, from framework maintenance to model training to redacting research reports
• Be comfortable working in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment, aka shifting sands of startup land. This includes communicating with other teams to efficiently join forces, in Hugging Face’s very decentralized/anarchic organization
• Be excited to be a builder for builders! Have empathy for developers across the stack and an enthusiasm for developer-first products
• Enjoy understanding technical domains deeply and be willing to really get into the weeds

Responsibilities

• Maintain and improve smolagents
• Build libraries and code around agents and GUI agents
• Prepare fine-tuning datasets, training recipes, and inference orchestration
• Leverage our large H100 cluster for large scale processing and model training
• Release any code we built, as well as the model serving as a foundation for the community to build on, possibly as a new GUI agent framework and/or research papers
• Collaborate and empower the community to build on top of our tools
