About Watershed
Watershed is the enterprise sustainability platform. Companies like Airbnb, Carlyle Group, FedEx, Visa, and Dr. Martens use Watershed to manage climate and ESG data, produce audit-ready metrics for voluntary and regulatory reporting including CSRD, and drive real decarbonization. We are looking for team members who love product-building, want to work hard at a mission-oriented startup, and will collaborate with us in shaping the culture of a growing team.
We have offices in San Francisco, New York, Denver, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, Mexico City, and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!
The role
Watershed is a software platform for running a world-class climate program. We measure our success in the carbon reduction achievements of our customers. We are looking for team members to join our team focused on delivering outcomes for our Financial Institution customers.
You’ll work on the team turning Watershed’s data layer into an intelligence platform: BI-grade querying, AI-powered discovery and analysis, and the schema architecture underneath it all. The goal is for customers to get answers inside Watershed—not export to Excel.
What you could work on:
Build new interactive data visualizations to help climate leads understand their company's emissions.
Build APIs to unify carbon data access for customers and other engineers.
Build tools that help financial institutions measure and report emissions across their portfolio companies.
Build tools for customers to effectively ingest and interpret business data.
You will:
Ship code to production on day one
Collaborate with product, design, climate science, and data science to build and iterate on software that helps our customers understand their climate data
You might be a fit if you:
Have 6+ years of software engineering industry experience, preferably in Node.js web development or data pipelines
Have experience building scalable software starting from user needs
Are excited to join a startup and are ready to help evolve a growing engineering team
This role will be based in our New York City office.
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.

Senior Full Stack Engineer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior full stack engineer in New York?
Senior full stack engineering in New York requires no state-issued license, so advancement follows a technical and experiential path rather than a credentialing board. Most engineers arrive through a computer science or software engineering degree or a recognized intensive bootcamp, then build several years of hands-on product work. New York employers typically promote to senior level after demonstrated ownership of complex systems, cross-functional collaboration, and mentorship of junior engineers.
How much do senior full stack engineers make in New York?
Senior full stack engineers in New York earn a median of about $166,180 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $97,430 for the lowest 10% to over $224,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire senior full stack engineers in New York?
Employers hiring senior full stack engineers in New York right now include Capital One, BNY, and Rippling, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New York's density of financial services firms, media companies, and high-growth startups means senior full stack roles appear across a particularly wide range of industries compared to most other states.
Which New York cities have the most senior full stack engineer jobs?
New York, Albany, and Manhattan account for the most senior full stack engineer openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its concentration of fintech headquarters, major media technology divisions, and enterprise software companies, while Buffalo and Albany contribute through growing technology corridors anchored by financial institutions, state government technology contracts, and university-affiliated research programs.
Are there remote senior full stack engineer jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 55% of senior full stack engineer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how naturally the work translates to distributed teams. Platform development, API design, and cloud infrastructure work are the areas most commonly offered with fully remote arrangements.
How can I get hired as a senior full stack engineer in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate or junior software engineer role, which large New York employers such as JPMorgan Chase, Bloomberg, and Verizon staff regularly through new-graduate programs and rotational engineering tracks. Building a portfolio of deployed projects using React, Node.js, or a cloud provider and contributing to open-source work strengthens applications considerably.
