About the job

Join Squarespace as our inaugural Staff Engineer for the newly established Websites Fundamentals platform team in Dublin. In this pivotal role, you will serve as the primary technical leader, laying the foundation for the platform that supports our product ecosystem. You will tackle complex, low-level architectural challenges that enhance technical efficiency and enable our engineering teams to operate with exceptional speed.

Your responsibilities will include designing and implementing high-performance, scalable solutions that will support our future growth. Collaborating with senior technical leaders, you will define a sustainable long-term technical roadmap for the Platform team, ensuring that all engineering decisions reflect our commitment to enduring ownership.

As a strategist, you will also remain hands-on, demonstrating best practices by writing clean, resilient code for our most intricate foundational needs. Your success will be gauged by the ease you create for your peers. By reinforcing our core platform, you will establish the abstractions that allow engineers to focus on innovation rather than being bogged down by complex dependencies and the intricate health of our platform.

You will act as the principal technical partner for the emerging team, setting benchmarks for engineering excellence and operational rigor.

This position reports directly to the Engineering Manager for Websites Applications in Dublin. This is a hybrid role, requiring you to work in our Dublin office three days a week.
