Why Watch Duty
Work at Watch Duty and help protect millions of people when it matters most. We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization delivering real-time, verified information on wildfires and floods, cutting through noise so communities can make life-saving decisions.
Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, united by the belief that public safety information should be fast, factual, and free from hype. If you’re driven by service above self, clarity over chaos, and impact over optics, you’ll find meaningful work here. Every role at Watch Duty supports safer communities and a more informed public.
What We Value
Watch Duty is what it is because of this team. I get the privilege of working alongside people who are not only exceptionally skilled but deeply principled and mission-driven. I wouldn’t trade this team for anything.”
Our Culture
Watch Duty is designed around focus, autonomy, and accountability. Teams are small, decisions are fast, and collaboration is deliberate.
We are fully remote. We prioritize focus time and maintain strong coordination during high-stakes moments. Disaster response demands flexibility and responsiveness when emergencies happen.
There are no lone wolves or siloes; we collaborate and make decisions as a team.
Watch Duty’s culture is grounded in service, accuracy, and a calm, first-responder mindset: never sensational, never political. We value accountability, humility, and kindness. Our people do serious work in service of others.
