YOU WILL
Design, build, and operate reliable cloud infrastructure that powers all of Watershed (across compute, databases, networking, deployment systems, and observability)
Contribute to technical planning, design reviews, team processes, and a culture of thoughtful, high-impact development
Collaborate with product engineers (our internal customers) to understand their needs and provide high-leverage infrastructure primitives that help them move faster, safely
Strengthen Watershed’s cloud security in partnership with our Security and Compliance functions, and drive infrastructure cost efficiency in collaboration with our Finance team
Participate in the team’s 24/7 on-call rotation and help turn operational lessons into lasting improvements
YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF
You have 2–5 years of software and/or infrastructure engineering experience, or equivalent practical experience
You have hands-on experience in some of these areas: Kubernetes, Terraform / infrastructure as code, CI/CD, networking, relational databases, observability, reliability, or cloud security. Experience with a major cloud provider is a must; experience with GCP is helpful, but not required
You enjoy the challenge of building the appropriate level of tooling for the stage and arc of the company, in particular being on the front lines of supporting AI infrastructure and agentic products
You enjoy building enabling systems that help other engineers deliver excellent customer outcomes
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.
