Hugging Face is moving beyond model hosting into developer infrastructure for real-time applications, signaling a shift from library-centric to product-centric strategy in the open-source AI stack.
At Hugging Face, we're on a journey to democratize good AI. We are building the fastest growing platform for AI builders with over 11 million users who collectively shared over 3M+ models, 1M+ datasets & 1.47M+ apps. Our open-source libraries have more than 600k+ stars on Github.
About the Role
We are building the open voice-agent stack for Hugging Face, and we are looking for a senior engineer to own a large part of it.Two things sit at the centre of this role. The first is speech-to-speech, our open-source library for realtime voice agents. The second is hf-voice, a new product that will let any developer build and deploy voice agents with their Hugging Face account.
The library already powers the Reachy Mini fleet and there is a public demo running on Spaces, so you won't start from a blank page. But almost everything about how this becomes a product developers rely on is still open, and you will have a direct say in it.
Your missions:
- Own the Open-Source Library:
- Ship hf-voice:
- Work in the Open:

One more thing
At Hugging Face we believe great AI shouldn't require a massive cluster, we build for everyone, especially the GPU-poor. And because we read every application, here's a small sign that you read this one too: start your answer to the first application question with the words “GPU-poor and proud 🤗”. No trick, no catch, it just tells us a real person is on the other side.
