About Faire

Faire is a technology wholesale platform built on the belief that the future is local. Independent retailers around the globe represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar wholesale market that has historically been fragmented and offline. At Faire, we use technology, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs worldwide.

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.

About this role

As a Staff Machine Learning Platform Engineer, you will help design, improve, and operate a scalable ML platform to accelerate model training, deployment, and governance. You are the technical bridge between data science and production engineering.

What You Will Do

  • Design and operate ML infrastructure, including workspaces, clusters, jobs, and workflows
  • Productionize ML workloads using Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, and Databricks Workflows
  • Teach data scientists how to utilize our ML platform to advance development from notebook to production for our most critical models
  • Implement Unity Catalog for data governance, lineage, access control, and secure multi‑tenant usage
  • Build CI/CD pipelines for ML using Terraform and Git‑based workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions)
  • Optimize performance, reliability, and cost across training and inference workloads
  • Configure Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Role Based Authentication Controls (RBAC) for sensitive data sets
  • Establish observability for data quality, model performance, and platform health
  • Build and maintain ML Platform technical documentation

What it takes

  • 8+ years of experience building production ML or data platforms
  • A degree (preferably graduate level) in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, or a related technical field
  • Strong hands‑on expertise with Databricks, Spark, Delta Lake, and MLflow
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, and distributed systems concepts
  • Experience with cloud platforms and infrastructure‑as‑code
  • Solid understanding of MLOps best practices: CI/CD, monitoring, reproducibility, and security
  • Experience supporting multiple ML teams in a shared platform environment
  • Active ownership of orphaned problems and willingness to assimilate missing knowledge to get the job done
