What they do

Faire runs an online wholesale marketplace. Independent retailers, such as a local boutique, use it to find and buy products from brands around the world. Faire uses data and machine learning to match shops and brands. A team of early leads from Square started it in 2017. Y Combinator, Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed, and Founders Fund back it.

Engineering Postings want Kotlin or Java on the backend. Data and science roles want SQL and Python, and scientist roles often ask for a master's degree or PhD.
