Job description

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. We\'re building the operating system for CPG brands—covering trade promotion, deductions, demand planning, and supply planning in one platform. As a Design Engineer, you\'ll build an AI-ready design system from scratch: the tokens, components, styles, and descriptions that give both designers and developers a faster, more reliable foundation to build on. You\'ll work directly with product and engineering to close the gap between design intent and shipped experience.
