Fullstack Engineer, Creator Home

About the role

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. 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.

• 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.
