• Experience building user facing applications with attention to usability, performance, and scale.
• A systems mindset, with the ability to understand the big picture, identify critical challenges, and help teams focus on what matters most.
• Experience leading high performing engineering teams.

This role will be based in our San Francisco office. Candidates must be willing to work from the office 4 days per week (except for remote roles). Watershed has hub offices in San Francisco, New York, London, and Mexico City, with satellite offices in Sydney, Paris, and Berlin. Where offices exist, employees are expected to be in office 4 days per week.

The process begins with 1-2 introductory conversations to get to know Watershed, your background, and your interests.

We prioritize transparency and minimizing surprises throughout the process.
