The Gig

Squarespace is looking for passionate backend engineers to build and scale the services powering our interactive web and mobile applications.

We firmly believe that design is not merely “how it looks” but “how it works.” With this in mind, our backend engineers work on Product Engineering teams, which are dedicated to creating the most seamless, integrated products possible. If you are a server-side engineer who enjoys taking ownership of product initiatives and carrying them from concept to production, we want to hear from you! You will report to an Engineering Team Lead in our New York City headquarters.

All Squarespace employees are working remotely at this time. We are closely monitoring the status of COVID-19 as we continue our work to build a return-to-work plan that ensures a safe return to our offices and provides flexibility for our employees. While many of our engineers are based in NYC, we have teams that are able to accommodate fully remote work. Please select which state you hope to reside in via the dropdown with our approved locations below.

What is the Business Products group?

Business Product teams build products that help Squarespace customers sell products and manage orders online. You will help build the best platform for individuals to start a stand-out ecommerce brand and grow it. As a member of Business Products, you will work with product managers, engineers, and designers to deliver software products to our customers and have the exciting opportunity to help small business owners launch their ideas.

We have multiple teams that are hiring, and throughout the interview process our goal will be to learn more about your technical skills, the kind of work that excites you, and where you want to take your career. Here are a few examples of teams that are hiring:

  • Activation: The Activation team's objective is to help our merchants onboard smoothly on our Commerce platform. They are a data-driven team that constantly looks for areas of improvements to make sure that there is no friction during the store setup. For example the team owns the Commerce Dashboard and the service backing it. 
  • Fulfillment: The Fulfillment team is building tools that help commerce customers transact and fulfill orders seamlessly within Squarespace’s ecosystem. As part of the Commerce Online Stores group, the Shipping and Fulfillment team's mission is to ensure that our merchants have the right tools to successfully process their customers orders: from order packing to delivery or pickup. The team is currently laser focused on integrating with 3rd party partners to provide a smooth shipping label creation and on-demand printing. There are many more opportunities for shipping & fulfillment innovations for small & medium retailers that the team will tackle next.
  • Channels: The Commerce Channels team specializes in the coordination of commerce data (products, orders, and more) between platforms to enable Squarespace merchants to expand their online presence as they see fit, while also supporting broad-scale initiatives that allow merchants from other platforms to create a Squarespace website and start selling independently with minimal friction. As an engineer on the Channels team, you will help us design, implement, and support the backend pipelines and UIs that our merchants depend on to sell cross-platform, whether they’re ready to branch out or get started selling existing online inventory on their own website.
  • Scheduling: Squarespace Scheduling is the easiest way to manage appointments online. We help our customers monetize their time for a wide range of uses, from fitness classes to haircuts, 1-on-1 online consultations, or vaccine appointments. 

We have multiple teams looking for engineers excited about doing fullstack work! If this sounds like you, please note this in your application.
