Hugging Face
Holding steadyAmong 364 cached profiles observed, Hugging Face saw balanced movement with 5 joins and 5 exits over 90 days, netting zero headcount change. The most notable signal: two senior ML Research Engineers departed to Reflection, suggesting a targeted competitor pull in research talent. The company also lost two entry-level Back End Developers to Qumulo and an Embodied Robotics Engineer to Disney Research. Incoming hires skew senior and community-facing — a Community ML Research Engineer, an ML Developer Advocate for 3D/Computer Vision, and a Data Engineer — indicating investment in developer relations and platform depth even as the core research bench thins.
