Squarespace software engineer screen that was basically just a structured self-intro prompt. One question, no real back-and-forth from what I could tell.
  • Give a 5 to 10 minute self-introduction covering your background and current role, two or three past projects and their impact, your areas of technical depth, and why you're interested in this role and team. Structure it so it doesn't rely on follow-up questions to make sense.

“This is the kind of prompt that sounds easy until you're actually doing it out loud and realize you've been rambling for four minutes and haven't mentioned a single project yet.”

Squarespace software engineer round with a clean algorithmic problem. Nothing too wild but it made me think more carefully than I expected about interval intersection.
  • Given an integer array and a list of unsorted intervals, count how many elements in the array fall within every single interval (inclusive bounds).

“The core move is finding the intersection of all intervals first, which just means taking the max of all start values and the min of all end values.”

Squarespace software engineer interview that was basically one long deep dive into a project you've worked on. They want the full picture: problem, constraints, tradeoffs, implementation details, results, and then they'll poke at every decision you made.
  • Pick a project from your experience and walk through it completely. Cover the problem, why it mattered, the constraints you had, the design options you weighed, what you built and why, any technically hard implementation details, the outcome with numbers if you have them, and what you'd change in hindsight. Expect follow-ups on any decision you mention.

“This kind of question sounds manageable until you realize they actually mean all of it, not just the highlight reel.”

Squarespace software engineer round, one algorithmic problem that looks straightforward until you realize there's a subtle design question buried in it. Pretty clean interview overall, nothing too wild.
  • Given an unsorted list of integers that may contain duplicates, and an unsorted list of intervals, count how many integers fall within every interval simultaneously.

“The key move is reducing all the intervals down to a single range: take the max of all the left endpoints and the min of all the right endpoints.”
