Software engineer, new grad Save

About Watershed

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, 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

We’re looking for new grad engineers who are excited to ship great full-stack products with a healthy balance of velocity and engineering excellence. You will be on a cross-functional team with engineers, designers, and product managers, and you’ll have the autonomy and ownership to shape what comes next at Watershed.

Customers use our product to measure, report on, and reduce their emissions, and we also maintain an extensive set of climate data and methodologies. Our tech stack includes React, Typescript, Node.js, Temporal, DuckDB, Postgres, and Google Cloud Storage. You don’t need to have previous familiarity with our stack; it’s more important that you can pick up new technologies quickly.

We’ve built our culture around customer obsession, intensity and care, inclusion, and ownership. Read more about our operating principles here: https://watershed.com/about-us.

All of our new grads will work in person 4 days a week from our San Francisco headquarters, where the majority of our engineering teams are based.

At this time, we’re only considering students graduating in 2026 who will be able to start work from June 2026 onwards.

You will:

• Learn best practices working with modern product engineering tools.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to deliver high impact projects, taking ownership along the way

• Participate in team planning sessions and processes.

You might be a fit if you:

• Are a student studying computer science or a related technical field, graduating in 2026 and able to start working in June 2026 or later.

• Had previous professional software internships where you shipped code to production.

• Are excited to tackle the climate challenge through software.

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 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.
