## Description

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 one of our NYC engineering teams where you'll be focused on delivering outcomes for our Financial Institution customers or extending Watershed's data layer into an intelligence platform.

What you could work on:

Build agentic dashboard tools to help climate leads understand their company's emissions.

Build tools that help financial institutions measure and report emissions across their portfolio companies.

Own frontend architecture, planning ahead to enable the team to build quickly without compromising on quality

Build APIs to unify carbon data access for customers and other engineers.

Build tools for customers to effectively ingest and interpret business data., 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.
