Connecting tomorrow's grid.

We're on a mission to help facilitate one of the largest and most important transformations in history. We're positioned to enable best in class operations for the world’s renewable energy systems and we're eager to meet exceptional folks who want to help us achieve this vision.

How will we do it?

At Wattch, we encourage three core values that help us to be a successful team and company.

Empathy: Taking the time to understand the unique perspectives of others allows us to communicate more effectively, both internally and externally.
Clarity: We value clear communication and encourage writing down decisions and processes so everyone can be in the know to avoid assumptions that lead to failure.
Sustainability: With a long term view, we take the time to do things the right way rather than the fast way. And we take care of ourselves to avoid burnout!

What's in it for you?

We're a small but mighty team and we're doing our part to offer the benefits you need to be successful. Currently, this includes:

Unlimited PTO. Really! We encourage at least a week off per quarter and actively check to be sure folks are getting the time off that they need.
Office Closure with pay. We close the office for all federal holidays plus the days between the federal Christmas and New Year holidays.
Health Benefits. We offer a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) to cover insurance premiums and medical expenses, as well as help choosing a medical plan.
Incentive Stock Options (ISO). We want you to be an owner! You'll get a generous equity package so you can win when Wattch wins.
Office on the Eastside Beltline. Our office in Atlanta is on the beltline near Krog Street Market. You can bike, walk, Marta or drive here!
WFH Wednesdays + remote flexibility. We work from home on Wednesdays and maintain flexibility to WFH as needed on other days.
Company sponsored fun. We like to have a good time and get to know each other as people, not just co-workers.
Early stage startup growth opportunity. We're a small, highly collaborative team with the ability to forge your own path as the business grows.
