Staff software engineer, sustainability platform at Watershed · LumiJobs · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We're seeking a Staff Full-Stack Engineer to join the Sustainability Platform (SusPlat) organization - the engineering group responsible for Watershed's core measurement engine. Every customer footprint, every sustainability report, and every emissions insight that Watershed produces flows through the systems this org builds and maintains. SusPlat spans the full data lifecycle: collecting raw enterprise data, transforming and standardizing it, running emissions calculations, and making the results queryable and actionable for customers and internal teams alike.
This is foundational, high-leverage work. When a Fortune 500 company needs to understand their carbon emissions across thousands of facilities, millions of transactions, and dozens of countries, SusPlat makes it possible. You'll work across multiple problem domains, collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and climate scientists to build systems that are both technically rigorous and genuinely useful to the sustainability professionals who rely on them every day.
You'll also be a founding member of Watershed's Denver engineering team, helping to establish the culture, practices, and technical direction of a growing office.
Build and extend Watershed's core measurement platform, the system that turns raw enterprise data into auditable carbon footprints for customers like Airbnb, FedEx, and Visa
Work across our full stack, tackling problems that range from data ingestion and transformation pipelines, to interactive querying and visualization tools
Own features and systems end-to-end; from understanding customer needs through to shipping, monitoring, and iterating
Navigate complex data domains: multi-currency inputs, global regulatory frameworks, diverse data formats, and large-scale aggregation
Partner with Product, Design, and Climate Science to translate complex sustainability concepts into intuitive, trustworthy user experiences
Help build Watershed's Denver engineering presence; contribute to hiring, mentoring, and office culture as a founding team member
You might be a good fit if you have:
8+ years of software engineering industry experience across both front-end and back-end
A track record of ownership, shipping end-to-end features, and high-impact projects
