That means Finance, Sales, and Ops finally work on the same number. \nWe’re trusted by 250+ brands managing $30B+ in revenue, including Daisy, OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Idahoan, and more. We've achieved best-in-class growth and recently raised a $55M Series B led by Insight Partners to accelerate our momentum.\nIf you want your work on shelves everywhere - and outsized ownership while you build - we'd love to meet you.\nThe Role\nBuild the core AI behind Confido - and get your hands on an unusually rich, messy dataset: hundreds of thousands of documents across dozens of sources and hundreds of layouts and contexts, much of it beyond what any system reads well today.\nAs an Applied AI / ML Engineer, you'll own AI problems end to end - research, prototyping, production, and the evaluation that keeps probabilistic systems reliable - across document understanding, forecasting, and agentic workflows.\nLocation: New York, NY (Relocation supported)\nWhat you'll do\nBuild LLM systems that turn complex, inconsistent financial documents into clean, typed, validated data - the backbone the rest of the platform runs on\n\nDesign agentic workflows that retrieve and reason over fragmented enterprise systems, with the eval harnesses and guardrails to run them in production\n\nBuild and improve demand forecasting across thousands of intermittent series - classical time-series and gradient-boosted models, with rolling-origin backtesting and best-fit selection\n\nWrangle messy, real-world data: baselining, outlier and anomaly detection, entity reconciliation, and ingestion across heterogeneous sources\n\nOwn how we measure success - eval datasets, benchmarks, and monitoring for systems with no single \"correct\" answer\n\nWhat we're looking for\nRequired\n3+ years of applied AI / ML, with systems you've taken to production (not just prototypes)\n\nDepth in at least one, and working fluency across several, of: time-series / forecasting and statistical modeling; LLM and agentic systems; large-scale messy-data engineering\n\nYou build evaluation and monitoring as a matter of course - and know which metric to trust, and how to avoid leakage and train/serve skew\n\nStrong product sense: you turn AI capability into real outcomes, and know when a simpler approach wins\n\nMasters degree in STEM\n\nNice to have\nDemand forecasting / time-series (Prophet, ARIMA-family, gradient-boosted)\n\nAgentic workflows, RAG, or retrieval systems in production\n\nDocument understanding / information extraction from unstructured sources\n\nStartup experience or comfort in fast-moving environments\n\nPerks + Benefits\nEquity - own a meaningful piece of the company you’re helping build\n\nFully paid health coverage through Aetna - we cover 100% of employee premiums\n\nTop-tier dental and vision coverage through Guardian\n\nCarrot Fertility Pro - comprehensive fertility and family-forming support\n\n12 weeks of paid parental leave\n\nUnlimited PTO - plus regular 4-day holiday weekends we actually take\n\n401(k) through Vestwell\n\nPaid relocation support - we’ll help you make the move to NYC\n\nFully equipped workspace from day one - laptop, monitor, keyboard, and a $200 stipend to personalize your setup\n\nTeam perks - catered Friday lunches, team dinners, and unlimited coffee + snacks featuring products from the brands we work with\n\nConfido provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3986,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Financial AI","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-02T15:00:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.14,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":68,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/confido-applied-aiml-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/confido-applied-aiml-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T20:32:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4600,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":846},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=846"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fconfido-applied-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fconfido-applied-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fconfido-applied-aiml-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/confido-applied-aiml-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fconfido-applied-aiml-engineer"}]}
