About Faire
Faire is a dynamic online wholesale marketplace that champions the belief in a localized future. Independent retailers worldwide are generating more revenue than industry giants like Walmart and Amazon combined; however, on their own, they remain small. At Faire, we harness the power of technology, data, and machine learning to connect this vibrant community of entrepreneurs globally. Imagine your favorite local boutique — we empower them to discover exceptional products from around the world to offer in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe we can create a level playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with the massive retail and e-commerce entities.
By fostering the growth of independent businesses, Faire positively impacts local economies globally. We seek intelligent, resourceful, and passionate individuals to join us in fueling the shop local movement. If you believe in community, we invite you to become a part of ours.
About this Role
The Ads Data team is developing the next generation of advertising solutions for the wholesale sector. As an integral member of this team, you will spearhead the machine learning algorithm strategy and system architecture that drives one of the most vital components for customer value and corporate growth—Search Ads. You will lead the development of real-time systems that determine which ads to display for a given query, their placement, and how to optimize for relevance, marketplace health, and advertiser performance. This role parallels many technical expectations of Faire's organic Search positions (including modern NLP/LLMs, query understanding, real-time ranking), while functioning within an advertising context featuring auctions, budgets, and pacing constraints.
You will work at the cutting edge of algorithms, blending large language models, natural language processing, query understanding, deep learning, and structured behavioral data to deliver highly relevant sponsored results for any query.
