Software Engineering Intern

Patreon is the best place for creators to build memberships by providing exclusive access to their work and a deeper connection with their communities. We’re building a content and community platform where creators can engage directly with their fans and monetize their creativity, while maintaining full ownership over the work they make and the communities they create.

We’re leaders in the membership space with 250,000+ active creators and over $3.5 billion paid directly to creators on our platform. Our team is building tools to optimize the creator-to-fan relationship, including native video, enhanced podcasting features, improved creation tools, and new community experiences. We’re continuing to invest heavily in building the most talented team in the Creator Economy and are looking for Software Engineering Interns to join our Engineering teams and support our mission.

If you’d like to join us on our mission to power Creators, we encourage you to apply! The internship will be a 12 weeks long hybrid program hosted in our San Francisco and New York offices.
