Faire is a technology wholesale platform connecting independent retailers globally with suppliers. This is a production engineering role embedded within the marketing organization, focused on building systems that enable marketers to operate independently at scale.
You will write production code across Faire's codebase, own services end-to-end (design, build, review, deploy, monitor), and participate in on-call rotations. The role spans multiple disciplines: paid media tooling and feed automation, landing page frameworks, lifecycle and campaign systems, the marketing data layer, internal platform tooling, and consumption layers for recommendation and propensity models.
Key initial focus areas include: (1) Marketing-led landing pages—streamlining workflows for blog, newsroom, and content teams while enabling faster experimentation for lifecycle and paid campaigns; and (2) Self-serve audiences and attributes—building capability for marketers to sync audiences with paid platforms and lifecycle systems without engineering bottlenecks. You will decide between vendor and in-house solutions, define data contracts, and design self-serve interfaces.
Other projects on the radar include learning loops for generative assets in ad campaigns, infrastructure improvements for core intelligence feeds powering paid campaigns, and real-time recommendation management across lifecycle and paid channels.
You will sit directly with lifecycle, paid, brand, and product marketing teams—not behind a ticket queue. You'll identify patterns in requests, design systems to eliminate recurring asks, and deploy AI agents into workflows with proper evaluation harnesses, monitoring, and defined failure modes before customer exposure. You'll translate ambiguous asks into scoped, prioritized plans and communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
Faire's stack: Kotlin, Java, JUnit, Hibernate, Guice, Jersey on the backend; React and Next.js on the frontend; HTTP, JSON, Protocol Buffers; MySQL and CockroachDB; AWS infrastructure.
REQUIREMENTS:
Required:
- 4+ years shipping and owning production software in or adjacent to marketing, growth, or GTM organizations
- Proficiency in Faire's production stack: Kotlin, Java, JUnit, Hibernate, Guice, Jersey, React, Next.js, HTTP, JSON, Protocol Buffers, MySQL, CockroachDB, AWS
- Strong SQL skills and warehouse comfort to instrument metrics and inform build decisions from data
- Depth in at least one marketing platform: CDP/ESP (Braze, Iterable, Segment, Hightouch), attribution/analytics platform, CMS, or ad platform API
- Daily use of AI coding agents and production experience deploying LLMs with evals, monitoring, and defined failure modes
- Track record owning a system end-to-end including on-call, shipping to non-technical users who operate it independently
Preferred:
- Marketplace or two-sided e-commerce experience
- Production experience with Kotlin/Java backend and JavaScript/TypeScript with React/Next.js frontend
- Experience replacing a martech vendor with in-house build and ability to articulate the cost
- Experience with Braze, Hightouch, Google Ads, or Meta
