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 that demonstrates strong product thinking, polished craft, and the ability to make hard problems feel simple
Track record of seeing large, ambiguous projects through from zero to shipped
Active use of tools like Cursor and Claude Code, with clear opinions on how to get high-quality output from them
A strong eye for design, with deep care for layout, motion, affordances, and visual polish
Direct communication style; you influence through the quality of your thinking, not org chart position
You'll stand out if you
Ship opinionated work and defend it with taste and data
Active, non-gimmicky use of AI tools in your day-to-day workflow
Interest in defining interaction patterns for how people work alongside AI agents
Treat ambiguity as an invitation, not a blocker
Stay current on AI research and tools, shown in your design process
Designed for financial, enterprise, or other domains that require complex systems thinking previously
Have experience in high-growth startups
