Watershed is the enterprise sustainability platform. Companies like Airbnb, Carlyle Group, FedEx, Visa, and Dr. Martens use Watershed to manage climate and ESG data, produce audit-ready metrics for voluntary and regulatory reporting including CSRD, and drive real decarbonization. We are looking for team members who love product-building, want to work hard at a mission-oriented startup, and will collaborate with us in shaping the culture of a growing team.
We have offices in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, Mexico City (launching soon!) and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!
The role
Watershed is a software platform for running a world-class climate program. We measure our success in the carbon reduction achievements of our customers. We are looking for team members who love building enabling systems that empower other engineers and power a high-quality product experience.
We’re building out our developer infrastructure function within the Foundations organization. Help us accelerate our entire engineering organization and encode best practices in our tools!
In this role, you will:
- Help pioneer and establish a new team focused on local dev efficiency, testing, observability, and reliability tooling for developers at Watershed
- Work on tools that make local development and production monitoring more effective and efficient, improving both the ergonomics and efficiency of our test/observability infrastructure across local development, CI, and production
- Collaborate with other Infrastructure functions and all Engineering teams to design and implement additional testing, staging, and release workflows
- Make it easy to do things the right way (testability, observability, security, performance, etc.)
- Work on a distributed team across US timezones
- 6+ years of engineering experience
- Experience building internal dev productivity and platform tools that help engineers in scalable and sustainable ways, and a passion for enabling other engineers to move quickly and safely
- A track record of proactively identifying systemic challenges and navigating ambiguity to resolve them, especially spanning team lines in an Engineering organization
- Familiarity with some portions of our tech stack: Javascript/Typescript/React, GCP (or similar cloud providers), Postgres, GitHub Actions, Temporal, OpenTelemetry, Terraform, Playwright, Honeycomb, as well as shell scripting and debugging/profiling/benchmarking
Must be willing to work from an office 4 days per week (except for remote roles)
Watershed has hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and satellite offices in Sydney, Paris, Berlin, and Mexico City (opening summer 2025!). Where we have offices, employees are expected to be in office for 4 days per week. Certain jobs are open to being remote and will be specifically noted on the jobs page and in the job description if so.
What’s the interview process like?
It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 to 2 conversations about Watershed, your experience, and your interests. Next steps can vary by role, but usual next steps are a skill or experience interview (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer, a portfolio review for a designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in person interview panel. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
What if I need accommodations for my interview?
At Watershed, we are dedicated to ensuring an inclusive recruitment process. We provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities, long-term conditions, mental health needs, religious observances, neurodivergence, or pregnancy-related support requirements. If you need assistance during your process, please contact your recruiter.
