Staff Software Engineer - confido

Confido is the AI infrastructure powering modern CPG — the platform that 200+ brands like OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Dr. Squatch, and Tropicana use to run everything from deductions to production planning. Finance, accounting, sales, and operations, unified in one system for the first time.

We're growing 5x year over year and recently raised a $15M Series A led by Footwork and Y Combinator. We're a small, in-person team in New York City, which means the people who join now shape the product, the culture, and the company itself.

If you want your work on shelves everywhere — and outsized ownership while you build — we'd love to meet you.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will help architect and build the core systems that power the Confido platform. You’ll lead the development of major product and infrastructure initiatives—from AI-powered document ingestion to large-scale financial analytics systems.

This role combines deep technical ownership with product impact, working closely with engineering, product, and customers to turn complex operational workflows into scalable software.
