Software engineer, energy management

Energy Management is a strategic bet on the next chapter of Watershed. We're building software that helps companies turn complex energy data into better purchasing and investment decisions, reducing costs while delivering on sustainability goals. We're looking for a software engineer who thrives in the earliest stages of product development. As an early engineer on a small, cross-functional team, you'll help shape both the product and how we build it. You'll write code, speak directly with customers, learn from our energy experts, and turn what you discover into products that deliver measurable business value.

Responsibilities

Build a product that powers Watershed's next chapter, helping companies reduce energy costs and make better investment decisions; Get close to the customer problem, building tools with decision-makers whose choices influence multi-million-dollar energy budgets and investments; Shape a new product from zero to one, partnering with pilot customers to discover what delivers value and shape the path to product-market fit; Move in fast learn, build, test cycles, shipping and refining product iterations in hours and days; Develop AI-powered, agentic workflows that help customers understand their energy data, evaluate opportunities and make better decisions; Apply strong engineering judgement, leveraging Watershed's platform and expertise where they accelerate progress, and knowing when to prototype independently; Learn the energy domain alongside in-house experts, collaborating across the New York and London team to turn that knowledge into useful products

Requirements

3+ years building software products, with a track record of increasing ownership and delivering work that mattered to your company and its customers; Have helped build an early-stage product or a new product line where the customer needs and solution weren't fully defined; Autonomous and proactive: you ask good questions, find direction in ambiguity, and know when to seek help; Comfortable working across the stack and doing the engineering needed to deliver an outcome; Strong product judgement and want direct customer contact, not just a list of features to implement; Excited to learn the energy domain and use AI to solve real customer problems; Must be willing to work from an office 4 days per week (except for remote roles)

Nice to have

Experience building customer-facing AI products or agentic workflows; Exposure to energy-related products or businesses; Experience with B2B software, financial modelling, or Node.js and TypeScript
