This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Team

The Creator World team is shaping the core experiences making Patreon the best place for creators to connect with all of their fans and share their creative work. Our work spans a wide range of creator and fan-facing experiences including creator pages and vertical-specific tools. We're a tight-knit, fast-moving, and high-ownership team. We ship often, sweat the details, and aren't afraid of an ambitious roadmap.

About the Role:

We're looking for a fullstack engineer to help develop the systems and APIs that will power future user-facing features. In any given week you might be asked to:
  • Design and build new backend systems and APIs for user-facing features.
  • Evolve and scale existing systems that creators and fans already rely on.
  • Investigate and resolve issues affecting user experience.
  • Partner with client engineers on the contracts between your services and their code.
  • Collaborate with product managers, data scientists, designers, and other engineers.
  • Step into adjacent parts of the stack (frontend, infra, data) when necessary.

What you'll need:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or the equivalent.
  • 2-3+ years of experience in software development.
  • Experience with Python or a similar language.
  • Experience shipping backend systems and APIs powering consumer-facing features and the ability to speak to how you balanced technical constraints with user experience decisions.
  • The ability to weigh trade-offs clearly and explain technical decisions to stakeholders.
  • A product mindset, caring about what your systems enable, not just the systems themselves.
  • Eagerness to take on new problems and grow your technical, collaboration, and leadership skills.
  • Belief in Patreon's mission: giving creators control over their work and building communities that feel good to be in.

Bonus if you have:
  • Frontend development experience (React, TypeScript).

We hire talented and passionate people from different backgrounds because workplace diversity and inclusion is critical to our ability to serve creators worldwide. If you're excited about a role but your past experience doesn't match with every bullet point outlined above, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway. If you're a creator at heart, are energized by our mission, and share our company values, we'd love to hear from you.

Patreon offers a competitive benefits package including and not limited to salary, equity plans, healthcare, flexible time off, company holidays and recharge days, commuter benefits, lifestyle stipends, learning and development stipends, patronage, parental leave, and 401k plan with matching.

Patreon operates under a hybrid work model, where employees based in office locations are expected to come into the office two days per week, excluding sick time and paid leave. The goal of this policy is to be intentional about the in-person time we spend together to strengthen the feeling of community at Patreon. Candidates hired into remote-eligible roles are not expected to meet the same requirements.

At Patreon, we believe in fair and transparent pay. In compliance with New York and California pay transparency laws, we are sharing the expected salary range for this role.

The posted salary range is dependent on the location and the level. This range may encompass multiple levels within the role's job family. The final offer will be based on candidate's experience, skills, competencies, and geographic location, aligning with the appropriate job level within Patreon's leveling framework. For remote employees located outside CA and NY, salary may vary based on location and local market conditions.

Patreon reserves the right to modify or update compensation and benefits at any time.
