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 heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Senior Staff Backend Platform Engineer to support our mission.
This role is based in 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 Backend Platform team builds the foundational systems and infrastructure that power Patreon's creator platform. We're responsible for the core backend services, APIs, databases, infrastructure, and developer tooling that enable product teams across the company to ship quickly, reliably, and at scale. This team is growing and investing in foundational platform capabilities that will support Patreon's next phase of scale and product expansion.
About the Role
Define and drive the technical strategy for Patreon's backend platform and foundational infrastructure
Lead architecture and implementation of scalable distributed systems, APIs, event-driven systems, and platform services
Lead modernization efforts across backend architecture, service boundaries, data access patterns, and infrastructure

Partner with product engineering teams to ensure platform capabilities align with business and product needs
Shape cross‑functional technical decision‑making at organizational scale
Help evolve operational maturity around incident management, resiliency, and production excellence
Mentor Staff and Senior engineers across the organization through design reviews, technical leadership, and hands‑on collaboration
What you'll need
Extensive experience building large-scale backend systems, with depth in distributed systems and platform architecture (typically 10+ years, or equivalent demonstrated expertise)
Deep expertise in distributed systems, high‑throughput APIs, and low‑latency architectures that support millions of DAUs
Experience with databases, caching systems, and storage technologies (e.g. MySQL, Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB)
Strong understanding of data modeling, storage systems, caching, queues, and event‑driven architectures
Experience in performance optimization across APIs, databases, caching layers, and distributed services
Strong operational excellence mindset, including incident response and production debugging
Experience operating systems in cloud‑native environments such as AWS and Kubernetes‑based infrastructure
Proficiency in one or more backend languages such as Python, Go, Java, or Rust
Ability to communicate complex architectural trade‑offs clearly in writing and in cross‑functional forums
Experience mentoring Staff and Senior engineers and contributing to engineering culture through design reviews, documentation, or team standards

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.
