Among other things, we build automation to allow our users access to ephemeral instances of the services that make up Squarespace.  This team provides tools to allow users to swap frontend assets on a running site for faster debugging. We mostly write our tools in Golang, Python and Javascript/TypeScript and run those applications on Kubernetes clusters on a hybrid cloud. Several of our tools have web frontends for which JavaScript or TypeScript experience is a big plus. You will report to the Developer Tools team lead.
