Marin Abernethy is an engineering leader with 12 years of hands-on software and people-management experience, currently growing the Help Experience team at Squarespace across New York and Dublin. She drives product-driven technical strategy—international launches, generative-AI self-service, and cross-brand Help unification—while keeping a strong emphasis on measurable business outcomes like conversion. Marin progressed through individual contributor and tech-lead roles into management at Squarespace, blending full‑stack engineering instincts with team coaching and cross‑site influence. She holds an MEng in Computer Software Engineering and brings a background that spans startups, consultancy, and enterprise product development, which helps her balance pragmatic delivery with long-term platform thinking. An understated detail: she pairs product-focused leadership with a developer’s mindset (Github bio: “I code. beep bop boop”), signalling she still writes and reviews code alongside leading teams.
