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.

Confido Compensation & Benefits Highlights
-
Fair & Transparent Compensation — Employer materials advertise top‑end pay positioning with clear salary bands on postings and a stated approach to setting salary and equity. Feedback suggests posted NYC ranges align with an upper‑tier startup pay philosophy.
-
Equity Value & Accessibility — Compensation is framed to include meaningful equity, with transparent equity frameworks and visible bands on some roles. This positions ownership as a core part of total rewards rather than an add‑on.

Healthcare Strength — Company‑paid medical plus dental and vision are highlighted across careers content and job posts, in some cases specifying employer‑covered premiums. This meaningfully reduces out‑of‑pocket costs for core coverage.
Confido Insights
What We Do
CPG is a multi-trillion-dollar industry, but the path from factory to store shelf still runs on spreadsheets, emailed PDFs, and legacy systems held together with duct tape. Brands lose real time and money every day reconciling data, fighting retailer disputes, and coordinating across finance, sales, and supply chain. We're replacing that manual work with AI agents on a single intelligent platform — from cash application and deductions to demand forecasting, supply planning, and trade promotion management. It's working. We're the infrastructure behind 200+ brands, from OLIPOP to Simple Mills to Dr. Squatch, managing $40B+ in customer revenue, with 5x ARR growth. Backed by Footwork and Y Combinator.
Why Work With Us
You'll never wait for a performance review to get a raise or bonus you've earned. Ownership works the same way: trusted from day one to own things end to end. Need something to do your job better? You won't have to ask twice.
