Software Engineer - Enterprise Platform

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!

Do you love to build great technology and great teams? Watershed is scaling a world-class engineering team, and as part of this we are starting an office in Mexico City and looking to expand our Enterprise Platform team.

You will report to the Engineering Manager and work with them as well as Engineering leadership and Watershed’s co-founders. We already have successful engineering teams distributed across our offices in San Francisco, New York City, and London.
In this role, you will:

• Build robust, production-grade systems including integrations that guarantee zero data loss and audit logs that capture every event

• Own entire capabilities end-to-end, from design and implementation through production support

• Shape what gets built based on customer needs rather than simply executing tickets

• Work across the full stack including backend systems, APIs, third-party integrations, and frontend admin tools

• Design and maintain reliable integrations with third-party APIs, navigating ambiguous specs (such as SCIM) and unpredictable external systems

• Develop synthetic, realistic demo data environments to support sales and customer success workflows

• Partner cross-functionally with sales, customer success, product, design, and other engineering teams to understand the business context behind what you build

• Contribute to a growing enterprise platform that expands in scope and complexity as Watershed scales to more customers and global regions

• Deliver infrastructure that directly unlocks revenue and enables enterprise customers to measure and reduce their carbon footprint

You might be a good fit if you have:

• 5+ yrs of experience building products with Javascript/Typescript or a similar Object-oriented programming language.

• Strong full-stack development skills and SDLC practices including continuous deployment.

• Experience building enterprise products and understanding the quality and level of service expectations of enterprise customers

• Experience working in a multi-national distributed engineering organization

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.
