Machine Learning Optimization Evangelist – EMEA remote

Here at Hugging Face, we’re on a journey to advance good Machine Learning and make it more accessible. Along the way, we contribute to the development of technology for the better.

We have built the fastest-growing, open-source, library of pre-trained models in the world. With more than 1 Million+ models and 320K+ stars on GitHub, over 15.000 companies are using HF technology in production, including leading AI organizations such as Google, Elastic, Salesforce, Grammarly and NASA.

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.

About the Role

As a Machine Learning Optimization Evangelist, your goal will be to increase the impact of the Hugging Face ML Optimization team by educating the community of ML practitioners on how they can benefit by accelerating their training and inference workloads.

The Hugging Face ML Optimization team is working through strategic collaborations with the most used AI Accelerators (incl. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Gaudi, Inferentia, TPU), Clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare) and Systems (Dell, Nutanix), to make it easy for the community to use Hugging Face models and libraries on these compute platforms.

These partnerships are core to Hugging Face product strategy as an open platform (no lock-in of customers), and monetization strategy to drive usage and revenue for our partners through commercial collaborations and product extensions.

This is not a marketing role, or a business development role. Your impact will be driving visibility and usage of integrations with strategic partners, through activities including:

• Publishing technical blog posts
• Contributing documentation and code examples
• Speaking to business and technical audiences at partner conferences,
• Participating in, or producing webinars
• Building and evangelizing demos
• Leading GTM conversations with strategic partners.

You will be at the forefront of Generative AI (and how to build practical stuff with open source). You will work hand in hand with the most important companies in AI. You will enjoy a lot of autonomy and full creative control, with the goal to have 10x more impact than a similar role at a big tech corporation.

About You

You are passionate about ML Engineering, building practical AI applications, putting them in production, and accelerating them to the best of the hardware ability. You love learning new challenging engineering concepts and technologies, and discussing them with engineers. You appreciate a good Developer Experience, and take pride in your code being easy to understand.

You are a great communicator and educator, comfortable (as much as one can be!) with public speaking to technical audiences.

You love engaging with the ML community in a positive and helpful way. Existing engagement in social platforms (GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, etc) or other communication/education channels is expected. Having experience in Open Source development will be helpful..
