About Watershed
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 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 and London and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you’ll be interested in joining us!
The role
We are looking for full-stack Summer 2024 engineering interns excited to ship great products while keeping a healthy balance of velocity and engineering excellence. You will be joining as an early member of the team that will shape everything that comes next at Watershed.
We build new products in a customer-first way: Watershed’s products consist of the frontend dashboard that our customers use to measure and reduce their emissions, together with a backend of climate data and methodologies. Our technical stack includes React in the frontend, Typescript and Node.js across the stack, and Postgres and Google Cloud Storage for data. There’s no need to be a prior expert in our stack — it’s more important that you’re good at picking up technologies quickly.
Some traits that are important to our company culture: customer-obsession, intensity, inclusion, and optimism. And we’re looking for ownership, so we hope you’ll help us expand this list. Read more about our operating principles here: https://watershed.com/about-us.
All of our interns will work in-person 4 days/week from our San Francisco HQ, where the majority of our engineering teams are based.
At this time we are only able to consider students who are graduating between December 2024 and August 2025.
You will:
- Work with an engineer on your team as a dedicated mentor.
- Learn best practices and work using modern product engineering technologies.
- Work closely with cross functional partners and stakeholders to deliver high impact projects.
- 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, with an expected graduation date between December 2024 and August 2025.
- Had previous professional tech internship experiences where you’ve shipped production level code.
- Are excited to tackle the climate challenge through software.
FAQ
Where does Watershed work?
We have hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and some remote team members in the US and EU. Most of our jobs need to be in San Francisco / New York / London, but certain jobs are open to being remote and will be specifically noted on the jobs page and in the job description.
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 screen (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 after that if the screens go well. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
