Job description

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, Denver, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, Mexico City, and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!

The role

We are looking for a software engineer who thrives in the early stages of product development to help Watershed expand its impact into new markets.

You will be involved in everything required to ship great products, including hands-on engineering, talking with customers, mastering the climate domain, and setting direction for the team. Joining as an early member of the team you will have the opportunity to shape everything that comes next at Watershed.

You will:

• Work closely in a cross-functional team to learn from pilot customers and develop a product vision to find overall market fit.

• Work in a distributed team across NY and LDN.

• Work with platform teams to deliver the outcomes we need at pace by leveraging existing capabilities.

• Feed back the relevant learnings to shape the platform investments for the long term.

You’ll likely be a good fit if you:

• Have 3+ years building software products.

• Have worked in very early stage companies or on new product line development within a larger organisation.

• Are eager to work in fast, learn → build → test iterations of hours and days.

• Move fast without breaking things. Leverage great technical judgement on when to work with the platform and when to work independently of it.

• Are able to go deep on the domain problem - learn from our in house experts so that you can make great product decisions quickly.

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, London, and Mexico City and satellite offices in Denver, Sydney, Paris, and Berlin. 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.
