Kitchener, Canada Faire Full time
About Faire

Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local - independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town - we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants.

By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive economic impact in local communities, globally. We're looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours.

    • Model prediction services to manage model deployment, inference and monitoring
  • Partner with our internal customers to understand their ML development pain points and craft platform solutions to address them.
  • Provide technical mentorship to ML engineers and interns on the team.

What it takes:
  • 3+ years experience building production machine learning systems or platform components such as feature store, model training framework, ML prediction service, etc.
  • Degree in a relevant discipline such as Computer Science, Machine Learning, or another similar field.

  • We build products our customers love: Everything we do is ultimately in the service of helping our customers grow their business because our goal is to grow the pie - not steal a piece from it. Running a small business is hard work, but using Faire makes it easy.
  • We are curious and resourceful: Inquisitive by default, we explore every possibility, test every assumption, and develop creative solutions to the challenges at hand. We lead with curiosity and data in our decision making, and reason from a first principles mentality.
