Data Scientist
About The Position
Confido is the AI infrastructure powering modern CPG. The platform is used by 200+ brands to run everything from deductions to production planning, unifying finance, accounting, sales, and operations. The company is growing rapidly and offers significant ownership opportunities. As a Data Scientist, you will build models that help brands forecast sales, price products, and shape promotional strategy. You will work with a broad dataset including sell-through, inventory, deductions, trade promotions, and supply-chain signals from over 200 brands. The models you build will directly influence decisions behind products seen on store shelves. You will turn data into models and analyses that ship inside the product, working alongside the AI/ML engineering team to move from exploratory analysis to production-grade insight.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of hands-on data science experience with real-world (not benchmark) data
- Strong statistical foundations: regression, time-series methods, experiment design, uncertainty quantification
- Fluent in Python and SQL; comfortable working in a modern data stack (we use Snowflake and dbt)
- You care whether your analysis is right, not just whether it runs — you validate, sanity-check, and communicate uncertainty
- You can explain a model to a non-technical brand operator and defend it to an ML engineer
Nice To Haves
- Experience with retail, CPG, supply chain, or demand-planning data
- Experience shipping models into production systems (vs. offline analysis only)
- Familiarity with forecasting at scale (hierarchical forecasting, intermittent demand)
Responsibilities
- Demand and sales forecasting — improving prediction quality across thousands of noisy, real-world retail time series
- Promotion effectiveness — measuring lift, price elasticity, and cannibalization so brands know which promotions actually pay
- Data quality and evaluation — building the statistical checks that keep our models honest as messy data flows in
Benefits
- Equity — own a meaningful piece of the company you’re helping build
- Fully paid health coverage through Aetna — we cover 100% of employee premiums
- Top-tier dental and vision coverage through Guardian
- Carrot Fertility Pro — comprehensive fertility and family-forming support
- 12 weeks of paid parental leave
- Unlimited PTO — plus regular 4-day holiday weekends we actually take
- 401(k) through Vestwell
- Paid relocation support — we’ll help you make the move to NYC
- Fully equipped workspace from day one — laptop, monitor, keyboard, and a $200 stipend to personalize your setup
- Team perks — catered Friday lunches, team dinners, and unlimited coffee + snacks featuring products from the brands we work with
