ABOUT WATERSHED

Watershed https://watershed.com/ 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!

THE ROLE

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 for our founding software engineers in-region. This is an opportunity to both bootstrap a team and set the culture for an entire office. 

You will report to the CDMX founding Engineering Manager and work with them as well as Engineering leadership and Watershed’s co-founders to set the new team up for success in Mexico City. We already have successful engineering teams distributed across our offices in San Francisco, New York City, and London.

In this role, you will:

  • Be a member of a co-located team of 4-8 engineers who will own our Supply Chain https://watershed.com/en-GB/solutions/supply-chain product module.
  • Collaborate closely with the team’s Engineering Manager, Technical Lead, Product Manager, and Designer to drive the team’s product and architecture vision
  • Lead by example by writing performant, well-crafted, tested, and maintainable code across our technical stack
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence and efficient execution within your team

You might be a good fit if you have:

  • 2+ yrs of experience building products with Javascript/Typescript or a similar Object-oriented programming language.
  • Strong full-stack development skills
  • 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 
  • Experience building with any of the following a plus:
  • Data-centric applications and Python
  • Continuous deployment 
  • GCP, Postgres, Temporal, and DuckDB

This position is required to be in person in our Mexico City office.

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.
