About Watershed

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

Do you love to build great technology and great teams? Watershed is working to scale a world-class engineering team, and we’re hiring for an experienced Engineering Manager to help lead this work. You will join a team of peer Engineering Managers and technical leads to define the culture and practice of engineering at Watershed.

We view hands-on engineering and engineering management as parallel career paths. We admire Engineering Managers who have a track-record as engineers, maybe pendulumed back and forth, and now want to grow as a technical leader focusing on people and product. Your job is to empower each engineer on the team to do the best work of their career-to-date. Each Engineering Manager is going to customize the role a bit — contributing a blend of technical, people, and product experience.

As one of the early managers in our New York office, you’re setting culture not just for your team, but for the office as a whole. You, along with the rest of Watershed’s leadership and people teams, are responsible for building a diverse, inclusive, and hard-working organization. We are excited to work on this together!

In this role, you will:

• Be a first line manager leading the Datasets and Objects team, a core platform team that owns our data lake and business intelligence tools.
• Manage a team of 9-10 engineers
• Inspire and lead the team through the next phases of growth ($100M+)
• Partner closely with Product, Design and GTM teams
  
  

You might be a good fit if:

• 3-5+ yrs of engineering team management experience
• Have 8+ years of overall developer and management experience in total
• Have grown and managed teams of 8+ engineers
• Have a strong platform engineering background: building business specific systems that all other engineering teams use in a scaling company
• Good product sense, working closely with customers
• Must have B2B experience, and big plus to have enterprise SaaS experience
• Experience developing products is a plus
• A mix of scrappy startup and big company experience is a plus
  
  

This position is required to be in person in our New York office.

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.
