- Work on a distributed team across US timezones
You might be a good fit if you have:
- 6+ years of engineering experience
- Experience building internal dev productivity and platform tools that help engineers in scalable and sustainable ways, and a passion for enabling other engineers to move quickly and safely
- A track record of proactively identifying systemic challenges and navigating ambiguity to resolve them, especially spanning team lines in an Engineering organization

This role will be based in our San Francisco or New York City office.

Where does Watershed work?
We have hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and satellite offices in Sydney, Paris, Berlin, and Mexico City (opening summer 2025!). Most of our jobs need to be in office, but 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.
