Squarespace is looking for an Engineering Team Manager to lead the API and Service Frameworks team, a pivotal part of the Platform group. This team, responsible for our public-facing API gateway and internal Java-based service framework, plays a crucial role in keeping services across all of Squarespace current and operational. The frameworks they develop are widely used by product and platform teams, making this a role with significant influence and visibility. You will report to the Engineering Manager of the Backend Platform team in our NYC office. This is a hybrid opportunity with three days in the office per week.
You will like working with us if you want to:
- Lead and grow a team of strong engineers centered on empathy – not only do we support internal customers, but we mentor and teach each other, review each other's code thoughtfully, and collaborate on complex problems.
- Engage with cross-functional partners to shape the future of resilient, performant, and secure services at Squarespace.
- Partner with other leaders to influence larger product, architectural, and organizational choices.
- Champion development best practices across Squarespace, driving operational excellence.
This role is a good fit for you if you:
- Are passionate about evaluating new technologies, setting the standards across a broad set of teams, and eliminating boilerplate.
- Have strong opinions about software development best practices and security by default.
- Enjoy creating processes and integrating with technologies that improve developer productivity.
- Are bothered by using outdated or EOL technology, and enjoy ensuring teams are always on a supported, stable version.
- Believe internal platform teams should have a product mindset toward our internal customers - we're building things to help product engineers go to market faster, not just because something is cool.
- Are known for your communication skills and collaborating well with technical and nontechnical stakeholders across organizations
- Are good at service-oriented architecture design and best practices
- Have 6+ years of backend programming experience in Spring and Java
- Have 2+ years of prior tech lead, team lead, or engineering management experience
