Dear Squarespace team,

I am applying for the Software Engineer, Frontend role on the Identity and Access Management team. I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with more than 10 years of experience building production interfaces with React, TypeScript, Angular, Web Components, design systems, testing, and CI/CD.

The IAM focus is what caught my attention. I like frontend work where the interface has to be clear, secure, and dependable: sign-in flows, account recovery, authorization states, form systems, and product details that help users complete sensitive tasks without friction.

At iO Digital, I built a 63-component Web Components design system used across React, Angular, and Vue. I also led frontend and UX work on a secure expense-management platform and built AI-enabled interfaces with streaming UI and retrieval workflows. At Lunatech, I shipped React and React Native reporting products and helped modernize large enterprise frontends.

My open-source projects also show the product ownership Squarespace is looking for. AgentDock, Open Vacancy Radar, and Pipenzo are Electron, React, and TypeScript projects around local AI agents, job discovery, and developer workflows. Dutch Defend, Flits, and GrabPitik show end-to-end ownership across web, mobile, payments, Firebase, and release work.

I am based in the Netherlands and open to relocating for a New York hybrid role if sponsorship or a viable work-authorization path is available.

Sincerely,
Jake Ortega
