Technical Program Manager, Engineering Platform

At Squarespace, we enable millions to build a brand and transact with their customers in an impactful and beautiful online presence. They do this by using our growing suite of software products (websites, online stores, marketing tools, and more). Technical Program Managers (TPMs) contribute to that mission by making shipping software easier and more predictable.

We are looking for an experienced TPM to partner with our Engineering Platform organization to help manage and deliver projects.

Example objectives include:

  • Modernizing our platforms and codebase, proactively investing in scalable and performant solutions
  • Reducing the impact incidents have on the customer experience, ensuring we are resilient to failures
  • Building software that connects a diverse group of technology and business partners to support our strategy and vision

This is an individual contributor role and reports to the TPM Manager for the Platform & Data groups. TPM is part of the Engineering department.All Squarespace employees are working remotely at this time.

  • Definition of clear escalation paths
  • Creation of clear and helpful plans for delivery
  • Risk management and impediment removal throughout delivery
  • Communication and coordination throughout delivery
  • Coaching teams on delivery processes & tooling; temporarily facilitate agile processes, if needed


You will join a growing, talented team of TPMs who:

  • Understand the customer and business problems they’re trying to solve
  • Make it easier for teams to deliver solutions to these problems
  • Manage risks and remove (or escalate) impediments to their success
  • Engage stakeholders effectively through active listening and excellent communication
  • Enlist support from peers, leadership, and other disciplines judiciously
  • Acquire relevant functional, domain, and technical knowledge to perform their roles
  • Receive feedback graciously and turn it into concrete improvements
  • Pivot and adapt as needed to support the needs of Squarespace
  • Serve as an ambassador for the TPM team, internally and externally
  • Drive their career development at Squarespace and beyond
  • Foster an equitable and inclusive culture

In your first three months, you will:

  • Build confident and comfortable relationships with other TPMs, your partners in Engineering Platform, and stakeholders through 1:1s and meetings
  • Learn about the customer and business problems you’ll be helping to solve and the technologies you’ll be working with
  • Understand the delivery challenges facing your teams and stakeholders today, so you can begin to incrementally improve them
  • Begin drafting your career development plan with your manager
  • Begin contributing to Squarespace culture in ways meaningful to you, e.g. Employee Resource Groups, planning or attending team events, joining affinity Slack channels, etc.
