Applied AI Data Analyst
About The Position
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 As an Applied AI Data Analyst, you will bridge the gap between our massive, unstructured financial and operational datasets to our core R&D team. You will own the evaluation platform of our agentic workflows forecasting pipelines, as well as improve customer facing insights leading to mission-critical decisions. This role is part of the Applied AI Research department, with options to advance to senior data science and AI/ML engineering roles. Location: New York, NY (In-Person | Relocation supported)
Requirements
- Graduate degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, or a related STEM field.
- 2–4 years of experience in a quantitative data analyst or AI evaluation role, working closely alongside AI/ML R&D teams.
- Proficiency in Python and hands-on works with AI/ML models
- Strong capabilities with SQL and enterprise data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Snowflake, dbt, AWS).
- Exceptional ability to translate noisy, unstructured document data into rigorous evaluation insights for engineers.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with LLM observability, tracing, and eval frameworks (LangSmith, Arize AI, or TruLens).
- Proficiency with agentic workflows or multi-agent orchestration.
- Familiarity with demand forecasting, time-series models, or statistical modeling.
- Comfort in fast-moving, high-growth NYC startup environments.
Responsibilities
- Analyze edge cases, model predictions, hallucination rates, and extraction accuracy for our LLM-driven document processing systems and agentic workflows.
- Dig deep into complex datasets (inconsistent financial documents, fragmented enterprise systems) to determine why an extraction or time-series model succeeded or failed.
- Define, curate, and maintain gold-standard evaluation datasets ("golden sets") for automated backtesting of AI agents and demand forecasting models.
- Build dashboards, data transformations, and evaluation harnesses to monitor system health, model drift, and AI performance metrics across release cycles.
- Partner directly with applied AI engineers, product managers and business operations managers to turn qualitative real-world problem definitions into quantitative product defining insights.
