Design 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 with a small team in New York City; the people who join now will 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're building the operating system for CPG brands, covering demand planning, finance, accounting, and sales in one platform. Design here means owning real surface area across a complex, interconnected product, not shipping buttons in isolation.
We're a small team that moves fast, communicates directly, and sweats the details. You'll work closely with product and engineering to define not just what things look like, but how the whole experience fits together.
What you'll do
- Shape the strategic direction of product and feature roadmaps, not just execute them
- Build working prototypes early, put them in front of real customers, and use what you learn to reshape the feature before it's fully built outearly, put them in front of real customers, and use what you learn to reshape the feature before it's fully built out
- Partner tightly with engineering and product to define, prototype, and ship—often all in the same week
- Sweat the details, the hundreds of small decisions that make a complex operator tool feel effortless instead of overwhelming
- Take validated patterns and refine them directly in code, contributing back into the design system
- Find ways to ship great work under real constraints. Scrappily, not sloppily
What you bring
- 3–5 years of experience across both design and front-end engineering, ideally in B2B SaaS, enterprise tools, or complex workflow products
- A portfolio...
