Squarespace runs a structured loop that's more rigorous than the brand aesthetic might suggest. For engineering roles, expect a recruiter screen followed by a technical phone screen (usually 45-60 min, LeetCode-style coding), then a full virtual onsite: 2-3 coding rounds, a system design round (typically at senior and above), and a behavioral/culture round.
The behavioral questions lean heavily on craft and collaboration. Squarespace cares about product sense, even on the eng side. They're building tools for creative people, so you'll get questions about how you think about user experience, tradeoffs between speed and quality, and how you handle ambiguity on a product team.
For product and design roles, expect a portfolio review and a case study exercise. They look hard at the process behind the work, not just the output.
Culture-fit questions tend to center on autonomy, ownership, and what you've built independently. The team is relatively flat and they want people who move without a lot of hand-holding.
Timelines are generally reasonable: recruiter to onsite in 1-2 weeks, debrief to offer in about a week after onsite.
