Confido is an AI infrastructure platform serving 200+ CPG brands (OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Dr. Squatch, Tropicana) to unify finance, accounting, sales, and operations. The company is growing 5x year-over-year with a small team in NYC.

Key responsibilities: - Develop demand and sales forecasting models across thousands of noisy retail time series - Measure promotion effectiveness, including lift, price elasticity, and cannibalization effects - Build statistical validation and data quality checks to maintain model integrity as data flows through the system Required qualifications: - 3–5 years of hands-on data science experience with real-world datasets - Strong statistical foundations: regression, time-series methods, experiment design, uncertainty quantification - Fluent in Python and SQL; comfortable with modern data stacks (Snowflake, dbt) - Ability to validate, sanity-check, and communicate uncertainty in analyses - Can explain models to non-technical stakeholders and defend them to ML engineers Bonus experience: - Retail, CPG, supply chain, or demand-planning domain knowledge - Shipping models into production systems - Forecasting at scale (hierarchical forecasting, intermittent demand) Tech stack: Python, SQL, Snowflake, dbt, AWS. Compensation includes equity, 100% covered health insurance, fertility support, 12 weeks paid parental leave, unlimited PTO, 401(k), relocation support, and team perks.
