Job Description

Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we’re leaders in that space, with:

• 8B+ earned since Patreon’s inception

• 30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and

• 10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators’ work and community.

We’re continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator products with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Frontend Software Engineer 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.
