Senior Fullstack Ads Engineer

Faire connects independent retailers with the world's best brands. Ads is how we accelerate that mission: helping brands reach the right retailers, understand what's working, and grow their business on Faire.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role on one of Faire's top priorities heading into IPO.

The Ads team is expanding from 1 team to 3 in 2026. You're joining early enough to shape the direction of the product, with enough already in place to ship meaningful work from day one.

This is a full-stack product engineering role. 

• →You own projects end to end, across frontend, backend, and data.
• →Partner with PMs and designers to define the why and what, not just the how; your product instincts matter here
• →Contribute to Faire's server-driven UI framework: set technical direction, ensure scalability, and drive adoption across the team
• →Optimize frontend performance using Next.js and modern web techniques
• →Use AI tooling as a genuine part of your workflow, not as an experiment
• →Raise the bar for the engineers around you through code review, pairing, and sharing what you know

Must-haves:

• 5+ years of full-time engineering experience (we look at the whole picture)
• Strong frontend depth in TypeScript and React; you can own a complex fullstack project top to bottom
• Product-driven and customer-centric; you think about our customers, not just the technology.
• Comfortable in high-ambiguity environments; you move fast, communicate clearly, and don't wait for perfect specs
• AI tooling is genuinely part of how you work today; you can speak to what you use, what works, and what doesn't

Preferred:

• Background in ad tech, ads manager tools, or customer-facing analytics
• Experience leading a complex frontend project with multiple stakeholders, or mentoring a small group of frontend engineers
• Hands-on experience with data pipelines (Airflow, Spark, or similar)
