About Faire
Faire is a technology wholesale platform built on the belief that the future is local. Independent retailers around the globe collectively represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar wholesale market that has historically been fragmented and offline. 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 businesses can grow and local communities can thrive.
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.
Data Science Internship - Fall 2026
Faire leverages machine learning and data insights to transform the wholesale industry, giving independent retailers the tools to compete with large-scale e-commerce platforms and big-box stores. Our Data Science team builds and maintains the algorithmic systems — spanning search, personalization, recommendation, and ranking — that power our marketplace and help our customers thrive.
We are hiring Data Science interns across several teams and are looking for intellectually curious, self-directed problem solvers eager to work end-to-end on high-impact challenges, from data exploration to production-ready solutions.
Our internships are paid, 12–14 weeks in duration, with flexible start dates. Extensions are considered based on project scope and mutual interest.
Open Team
Search & Recommendation
Design and deploy state-of-the-art recommender systems that power ranking and discovery across the marketplace
Develop rich user and item representations through embeddings, sequence models, and graph-based methods
Build real-time and streaming data pipelines that enable dynamic, context-aware personalization at scale
Apply exploration–exploitation strategies — including contextual bandits and reinforcement learning — to optimize recommendations under uncertainty
Advance recommendation quality through improvements to diversification, novelty, and long-term user engagement
Own the full ML lifecycle: from problem formulation and modeling through offline evaluation and online experimentation
What You'll Do
Design, develop, and A/B test cutting-edge machine learning algorithms and analytical solutions, with guidance from senior technical leads
Communicate project objectives, methodologies, and results clearly to both immediate teammates and broader cross-functional stakeholders
Navigate the complexity of a two-sided marketplace, identifying and addressing the unique challenges that arise at the intersection of retailer and brand needs
What We're Looking For
All candidates must be currently enrolled or recently graduated Master's or PhD students in Computer Science, Operations Research, Statistics, Econometrics, or a related technical discipline. Beyond that, we're looking for team-specific experience:
Search & Recommendation Systems
Publications or submissions to top-tier venues such as KDD, RecSys, ICML, NeurIPS, WWW, or SIGIR
Experience with recommender systems (collaborative filtering, deep recommenders, ranking), representation learning and embeddings, sequential models (RNNs, Transformers for user behavior modeling), bandit and reinforcement learning methods, and large-scale retrieval and ranking systems
Familiarity with offline evaluation metrics (NDCG, MAP, recall) and online experimentation
Experience working with large-scale or production datasets
Pay rate:
San Francisco: the pay rate for this role is $75 USD per hour.
Actual hourly pay will be determined based on permissible factors such as transferable skills, work experience, market demands, and primary work location. The pay range provided is subject to change and may be modified in the future.
Faire uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to screen and select applicants for this position.
This job posting is for an existing vacancy.
