About Faire
Faire is a pioneering online wholesale marketplace rooted in the belief that the future is local.

Imagine your favorite local boutique, our platform empowers them to discover and offer the finest products from around the globe in their stores. We are dedicated to providing the right tools and insights to ensure that small businesses can effectively compete with large retail and e-commerce giants.
By fostering the growth of independent businesses, Faire is creating a positive economic impact in communities around the world. We are on the lookout for smart, resourceful, and passionate individuals who want to contribute to the shop local movement. If you share our belief in community, we invite you to join us.
About this Role:
Our engineering team is responsible for the software that drives our marketplace. We are seeking an experienced leader to guide teams focused on enhancing core customer experiences.

We are enthusiastic about this vision and are looking for Engineering Managers to collaborate with us in this endeavor, making AI a key enabler to boost our development speed and system quality.
