Forward Deployed Engineer

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.

THE Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with enterprise customers to turn real-world financial workflows into production software.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer implementation.

You’ll help customers go from kickoff → live while shaping the core platform.
