Ultimately, our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we’re leaders in that space, having sent over $3.5 billion to creators since our founding. We’re continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator tools with the best team in the creator economy, and looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Creations Team to support our mission.

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

  • Drive technical design of components that are scalable, well tested and are easy to maintain 

  • Advocate for best patterns and practices in the areas of system design, performance, observability and testing.

  • Collaborate with product managers, data scientists, designers, and other engineers to deliver high quality features.

  • Champion innovative solutions that enhance the usability and engagement with discovery features

About You

  • 5+ years of experience in software development

  • Strong experience with Python or a similar language

  • Experience with React, next.js, Typescript or Javascript

  • Experience with SQL.

  • Solid communication skills with cross-functional team members

  • Eager to take on new challenges and expand skill set

  • Build a strong product-minded engineering culture by mentoring and guiding engineers

Patreon powers creators to do what they love and get paid by the people who love what they do. Our team is passionate about making this mission and our core values come to life every day in our work. Through this work, our Patronauts:

  • Put Creators First | They’re the reason we’re here. When creators win, we win. 

  • Build with Craft | We sign our name to every deliverable, just like the creators we serve.

  • Make it Happen | We don’t quit. We learn and deliver. 

  • Win Together | We grow as individuals. We win as a team.

We hire talented and passionate people from different backgrounds across the organization. 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.
