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, and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!

The role

The Cloud Infrastructure team at Watershed owns foundational capabilities that our product is built upon, as well as many of the tools our engineering teams use to orchestrate workloads and deploy, test, scale, and observe their code in production. We support an application with a quickly growing codebase and build systems that are used by every single engineer at the company. We are looking for team members who love building the enabling systems that empower other engineers to deliver a high quality end-user experience.

We’re looking for folks with experience managing cloud infrastructure, working through various stages of scale, and helping Engineering be more effective and productive. Specific experience with Google Cloud Platform is desirable, but not strictly required.

Some traits that are important to our company culture: customer-obsessed, hard-working, inclusive, and optimistic.

You might be a good fit if:

• You have 3-5 years of engineering experience

• You’ve worked on Infrastructure or Platform teams, or on significant projects involving infrastructure components (e.g. multi-region architecture, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, release management, observability, cloud security)

• You enjoy the challenge of building the appropriate level of tooling for the stage and arc of the company

• You enjoy collaborating closely with engineering teams to deliver great customer outcomes

This role will be located 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, London, and Mexico City and satellite offices in 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.
