Faire Software Engineer Interview Experience — Four Onsite Rounds with Product Execution and a Likes System Design

Faire·Software Engineer·Oct 2026

There were 4 rounds in total.

Round 1, coding:

You are tasked with developing a function to determine the peak bike demand for a bike rental service. The service processes all bookings ahead of time, and your function must calculate the peak number of bikes needed at any point in time to satisfy all bookings.

Round 2, product execution. I honestly had no idea how to prepare for this one.

The question was about a new feature for a user permission model: how to validate the assumptions, how to get alignment with stakeholders, that kind of thing.

Round 3 was a half-hour behavioral round.

Round 4, system design:

Brand / retailer likes system

  • Retailer can like/dislike a product
  • Retailer can see the products they liked
  • Retailer can see the likes of the product in a search result
  • Brand can see the likes of the products they have
