TL;DR: at HF, we are looking to hire a Streamlit contributor to improve our Spaces hosting and support the development of Streamlit
At Hugging Face, Spaces provides a simple app hosting solution and is sometimes known as “the simplest way to demo a ML model”
We launched with support for both Gradio and Streamlit (and have recently added support for arbitrary Docker image hosting) BUT quite frankly, our support of Streamlit hasn’t been up to par for a few months
From now on, we would like to support Streamlit on Spaces way better, and also, more generally, we want to support the development of Streamlit and its community.
So we would like to collaborate with a contributor to the Streamlit community. If you have full-time or at least half-time availability to work with us, we would love talking to you.
Please ping us in DM directly here, looking forward to discussing!
Is there a more formal job description for this role by the way? I’m curious if the role is more Engineering/Product/Marketing/Community oriented and what constitutes improve our Spaces hosting. What skill sets are you looking for and what does the ideal candidate look like?
making sure that Spaces infrastructure works well for Streamlit apps, i.e. the we support all latest versions of Streamlit and things ‘just work’ (<= “full-stack” kind of engineering/Product, with the help of the rest of the team)
potentially, contribute to the Streamlit codebase itself if we find cool stuff that is interesting to contribute and the Streamlit team likes it!
Community Advocacy i.e. showcasing Streamlit to the HF community to help people build great stuff
Engineering is a nice to have, but Community is the most important part of this role.
We don’t yet have a more formal job description, but i’ll follow up here if we create one. In the meantime please ping me:)
PDF to Text Extractor: A PDF text data extraction app that takes a PDF document as input and returns either a txt file that contains all pages or a compressed folder of txt files representing the document pages.
Brainstorming Buddy: a Streamlit helper tool built on GPT-3 to help generate ideas and identify points to expand on, giving a specific topic.
I would like to apply for this role.
I would recommend you to check out my GitHub where I have loads of open-source work implemented as streamlit webapps and I am sure I can seem like a good fit for this role.
