Engineering
Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
- $10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception
- 100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
- 25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.
We're continuing to invest in building the best platform for creators and are looking for a Staff Backend Engineer, Video Platform to help power reliable, high-quality live video experiences for creators and their communities.
This role can be based in San Francisco or New York, with three days per week in the office under our hybrid work model. Remote candidates may also be considered.

Our scope also includes live video infrastructure, enabling creators to connect with their communities through reliable, high-quality streaming across web and mobile. We're growing the team to strengthen these foundations and support Patreon's next phase of growth.
