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 to join our team focused on delivering outcomes for our Financial Institution customers.

  • Own our frontend architecture, planning ahead to enable the team to build quickly without compromising on quality
  • Collaborate with our Design and Design Engineering teams to give our customers beautiful, clear and consistent experiences
  • Lead the team on UI/UX topics supporting others to build their skills in your areas of expertise
  • Champion our design principles like “smart defaults but you decide” and “connected and familiar”

You might be a good fit if you have:

  • We’re looking for 6 years in software engineering

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.

We provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities, long-term conditions, mental health needs, religious observances, neurodivergence, or pregnancy-related support requirements.
