Watershed is a tech startup working to accelerate the fight against climate change. We’re hiring a founding designer to join our US-based team.
Please reach out to [email protected] to discuss.
Our mission is to help stop climate change by accelerating the transition to a zero carbon economy. Businesses are a key actor in this transition, and corporate climate programs are becoming ubiquitous thanks to investor expectations, employee enthusiasm, regulatory requirements [pdf], supply chain pressure, customer brand, and corporate peer pressure.
But we've seen firsthand that it's a hard problem. At Stripe, we built the climate program and were surprised how few tools existed in the space. Now we’re building the data sets, tools, and marketplace that businesses need to succeed.
Watershed provides everything that a business needs to have true climate impact: data analytics to understand their carbon footprint, tools to execute on carbon reductions, easy purchasing of clean energy and carbon offsets, and help communicating their impact. We launched the product in December 2019 and are live with paying customers who are using Watershed to cut carbon.
We are looking for a skilled data engineer to join our team as a founding member. Our 6-person team previously worked on engineering, data, and ML problems at Airbnb, Airtable, Stripe, and elsewhere. We launched Stripe's climate program, learned from the experience there, and are now thrilled to work full-time on the climate problem.
Watershed is building the most complete data set on the carbon emissions of the global economy. With the help of our customers, we collect activity and emissions data across global supply chains, which we combine with research data sets and our own forecasts and models.
We are looking for a team member who is excited to own the data model, production pipelines, and product surface-area associated with this carbon dataset. You will be joining as one of the very first people at Watershed and will shape everything that comes next. You are likely a good fit if you have past experience working with challenging datasets in production systems. We're excited for you to bring that experience to Watershed! Your background could include a lot of data science or ML work, as long as you also enjoy production engineering too.
Some traits that are important to our company culture: Customer-obsessed, hard-working, inclusive, and optimistic. And we’re looking for owners, so we hope you’ll help us expand this list.
Please reach out to Christian Anderson ([email protected]) to talk about the role. Looking forward to it!
