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.

The role

Do you love to build great technology and great teams? Watershed is scaling a world-class engineering team, and we’re hiring for an experienced Engineering Manager to help lead our work with Financial Institutions.

Some of our biggest and best-known customers are Financial Institutions who come to Watershed to measure their Financed Emissions - the emissions attributable to their investment decisions. We help these customers understand the climate impact of their decisions and equip them with actionable data to collaborate with portfolio companies.

As the manager of the engineering team, you will be supported by subject matter experts and an experienced customer team; we’ll teach you what you need to know about the domain to allow you to focus on building a skilled and motivated engineering team.

You, along with the rest of Watershed’s leadership and people teams, will be responsible for building a diverse, inclusive, and hard-working organization. We are excited to work on this together!

In this role, you will:

• Build and manage a diverse team of 4-7 engineers

• Guide the team to make sound engineering decisions and thoughtful trade-offs

• Maintain high quality and reliability expectations with the team

• Partner with product managers, designers, tech leads, and peer engineering managers in the US, UK and Mexico to align roadmaps, execution and best practices

• Manage execution and delivery. Build the processes and systems to ensure that we are shipping high quality code, quickly

• Inspire and lead the team through the next phases of growth

You might be a good fit if:

• Have 2+ years of engineering team management experience

• Have 6+ years of overall developer and management experience in total

• Have grown and managed teams of 4+ engineers

• Have experience managing, setting direction, and leading execution for technical teams in fast-paced environments

• Have good product sense and experience working closely with Product, Design and customers

• Are excited to help build and participate in shaping the engineering culture of our New York office

Climate science and Finance-specific knowledge are not a prerequisite but we are looking for eagerness and ability to learn the domain.

This position is required to be in person in our New York 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 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.
