Weekend Backend Engineer information

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a weekend backend engineer?

To thrive as a Weekend Backend Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in languages like Python, Java, or Node.js), a solid understanding of server-side frameworks, and experience with databases, typically supported by a degree in computer science or equivalent experience. Familiarity with tools such as RESTful APIs, cloud platforms (like AWS or Azure), and version control systems (e.g., Git) is essential. Excellent problem-solving, time management, and communication skills are crucial for working independently and collaborating with remote teams during off-peak hours. These skills ensure reliable system performance, quick issue resolution, and seamless integration with other services, all vital for supporting business operations outside regular hours.

What are the typical work expectations and team dynamics for a weekend backend engineer?

As a Weekend Backend Engineer, you’ll often be responsible for maintaining system stability, addressing urgent issues, and implementing updates outside of standard business hours. You’ll typically work independently, but you’ll also collaborate with on-call engineers, DevOps teams, and sometimes customer support to resolve incidents quickly. Communication is key, as you may need to document your work clearly for weekday teams to ensure smooth handovers. This role can offer valuable experience in incident response and system reliability, which are highly regarded skills for backend professionals.

What is a weekend backend engineer?

Job description

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 a Senior Software Engineer (Platform/Core), you will help build the core infrastructure and product systems that power the Confido platform. This includes everything from large-scale data pipelines and financial analytics systems to AI-powered workflows used by leading CPG brands.
You'll work closely with engineering, product, and customers to turn complex operational workflows into reliable, scalable software.
Location: New York, NY (Relocation supported)
What You'll Do
  • Build and scale the core platform that powers financial workflows for CPG brands
  • Develop systems for ingesting and processing financial and operational data from multiple sources
  • Build backend services and APIs that power analytics, forecasting, and automation features
  • Implement AI-powered workflows for document processing and financial data extraction
  • Design intuitive product experiences that turn complex financial data into actionable insights
  • Work directly with product and occasionally customers to understand workflows and ship solutions quickly

Example Problems
  • AI-powered ingestion of invoices, deductions, and retailer reports
  • Scaling data pipelines that ingest financial data from multiple retailer systems
  • Building analytics infrastructure for forecasting and demand planning
  • Designing internal tools and product features that simplify complex financial workflows
  • Improving performance and reliability across core platform services

What We're Looking For
Required
  • 6+ years of software engineering experience
  • Strong backend engineering skills and systems design experience
  • Comfort building production systems that handle large datasets or complex workflows
  • Strong product instincts and ability to work across engineering and product

Nice to Have
  • Experience working with AI/ML-powered systems
  • Experience with data pipelines or analytics infrastructure
  • Experience working directly with customers or cross-functional stakeholders
  • Interest in early-stage startups and high-ownership roles
  • CS degree or equivalent experience

More about Engineering @ Confido
Perks + Benefits
  • Equity - own a piece of what you're building
  • Fully paid health coverage with Aetna (we cover 100% of premiums)
  • Top-tier dental and vision through Guardian
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO, plus regular 4-day holiday weekends we actually take
  • 401(k) through Vestwell
  • Paid relocation - we'll get you here
  • Full desk setup on day one (laptop, monitor, keyboard) + a $200 stipend to make it yours
  • Catered Friday lunches, team dinners on us, and unlimited coffee + snacks featuring our own brands
