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, 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

We’re looking for an Enterprise Account executive to join our team in London. We’re at an inflection point: every large company is launching a climate program as pressure for action builds every day. You’ll do whatever it takes to get those companies on Watershed and help them be effective. As a member of our go-to-market organisation, you’ll help build the sales playbook, shape Watershed’s product and help us build a stellar team.

You will:
• Sell Watershed. Find your way to the right people at leading companies, educate them about effective climate programs, and help them succeed with Watershed.
• You’ll own the full lifecycle, from first outbound to contract signature.
• Shape Watershed’s GTM strategy and help Watershed break into new market segments.
• Influence Watershed’s product strategy by sharing feedback from customers on the front line.
• Become an expert in climate, and educate companies on how they should navigate the world of carbon reduction targets, clean energy, carbon removal, and decarbonising their supply chain.
• Help build the sales team.

To be successful in this role:
• You will have relevant sales experience in a SaaS organization.
• A track record of sales excellence, especially with enterprise customers (10,000 employees) at an executive level.
• Have experience prospecting new business in a new territory.
• Are excited to lead from zero to one. You love to build things from scratch—new playbooks for navigating organizations and ways to tell the Watershed story.
• Are an excellent consultative seller. You listen deeply to customers and excel by helping them solve their problems.
• Love going deep on new domains. You’ve sold products in complex or technical fields, and relish becoming an expert on your subject matter. You’re voraciously curious. You’re excited to learn everything about climate and help companies navigate this space.
• Are an exceptional communicator.
• Have a track record of doing whatever it takes to get things done. You’ve accomplished things that others thought were impossible. You’re relentlessly resourceful.
• Want to join a startup, take responsibility for the fate of the company, and move fast.

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 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.

Job description
Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.

We are hiring a C++/Rust Graphics and Windowing System Software Engineer.

We build Mir – a high-performance, high-efficiency technology stack for window managers, display subsystems and solutions built on top of it, like Ubuntu Frame. Leading with vision, we shape the technology stack that empowers communities to realize a world where apps work seamlessly in every graphical environment.

Our goal is to enable the whole spectrum of graphics from single-purpose screens through edge devices to full desktop environments. We also set the pace for graphics enablement across the Ubuntu certified hardware ecosystem. Our daily drill includes design, development and testing of features as well as working with the community and responding to issues and user inquiries.

Most of the software is written in C++, with support tooling in scripting languages. We will use Rust as an evolutionary step forward. Thus candidates are required to have strong skills in both Rust and C++. We're growing the team and looking for new colleagues who share our passion for precision, performance and user experience. We are hiring on various career levels with a minimum of 2 years industry experience. We are looking for people who ideally have experience in building window compositing systems or graphics device experience. We're committed to creating an outstanding developer experience, secure foundations, and easy access to today's most used graphics toolkits and libraries.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to have a meaningful impact on modern display technologies that will impact millions of developers and users. Canonical offers a fast-paced team environment and a career full of learning and development opportunities across the open source spectrum.

Location: This role will be based remotely in the EMEA or APAC region.
The role entails
• Design and implementation of features across the Mir stack
• Assisting in debugging, tracking down and fixing issues
• Participating in our engineering process through code and architectural review
• Creating and improving tests and performance benchmarks to catch issues early
• Creating and maintaining documentation to enhance the developer experience
• Engaging with the open source community and commercial partners
• Collaborating proactively with a distributed team
What we are looking for in you
• Excellent Bachelor’s or equivalent degree in Computer Science, STEM or similar and 2+ years of working experience
• Excellent modern C++ and excellent Rust programming skills
• Familiarity with Linux as a development and deployment platform
• Ability to collaborate remotely with a diverse set of team members and remain highly motivated, productive, and organized
• Ability to travel internationally twice a year for company events up to two weeks long
Nice-to-have skills
• You have experience with the Wayland protocol ecosystem and compositors
• You are familiar with OpenGL, Vulkan, Flutter and other graphics, toolkits and animation frameworks
• You have a solid understanding of asynchronous programming and concurrency patterns
• You have proven ability to consistently deliver robust code to production
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills to document and present software developed
What we offer colleagues

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
• Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
• Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
• Annual compensation review
• Recognition rewards
• Annual holiday leave
• Maternity and paternity leave
• Team Member Assistance Program & Wellness Platform
