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 and Sydney, and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!
The role
The 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 develop, deploy, test, and observe their code. 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 and power a high quality product experience.
Watershed has a slightly unconventional philosophy about infrastructure. We hire software engineers with additional skills and experience in cloud infrastructure so that we can design systems and build tools that accelerate our business. This isn’t just about configuring services and managing deployments. It’s our job to build a scalable, maintainable foundation for the rest of Engineering.
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. And we’re looking for owners, so we hope you’ll help us expand this list.
You might be a good fit if:
- You have 3+ years of engineering experience
- You’ve worked on Infrastructure or Platform teams, or on significant projects involving infrastructure components (e.g. CI/CD, Terraform, test infrastructure, release management, observability)
- 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 San Francisco or New York office.
At Watershed, we strive to design consistent, fair, and competitive compensation programs. The total cash compensation range may be inclusive of several levels at Watershed and final offer will be determined by a number of factors, including the candidate’s skills, capabilities, and location, as well as scope of the role.
The anticipated cash compensation range is in addition to a total rewards benefit package including equity, health/dental/vision insurance, 401(k), unlimited paid time off, paid parental leave, fertility, and mental health programs etc.
Salary Range
$166,500—$241,500 USD
Where does Watershed work?
We have hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and some remote team members in the US and EU. Most of our jobs need to be in San Francisco / New York / London, but certain jobs are open to being remote and will be specifically noted on the jobs page and in the job description.
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 screen (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 after that if the screens go well. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
Please note Watershed will only conduct interviews via official company channels (Google Workspace, Zoom). We do not use platforms such as Signal, WhatsApp, etc. to conduct official interviews nor to complete any part of our onboarding process. If you are reached out to on these platforms from anyone claiming to be from Watershed please let us know.
