Do you believe that creators should have the ability to get paid for the value they give to their fans?

We do, which is why we're building Patreon, a platform that powers membership services for creators with established followings. Patreon strives to provide creators with insight, education, and tools that make it possible to retain creative control while running their creative business, so creators can focus on creating and energizing their fanbases.

Our user base has doubled in the last year alone, and we have paid over $2 billion directly to creators on our platform. In order to support this level of growth, Patreon is looking for Software Engineering Interns to join our Engineering teams. 

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. 

What you will do:

• You’ll ship a real-world feature that directly impacts and helps turn your favorite creator's passion into a living.
• You’ll be part of a great team. You’ll be embedded into an engineering team to work alongside fellow engineers, product managers, designers, and data scientists to make your feature a success.
• You’ll learn a lot. In the spirit of Win Together, we’ll pair you with one of our experienced engineers to mentor and guide you as you ramp up and work through all the technical challenges of your internship project. 
• You’ll have fun. Besides shipping a great product and the learning and development opportunities, you’ll experience San Francisco or New York City during your summer internship alongside your intern cohort! 

Skills and experience you possess:

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Computer Science or a related technical degree
• Solid technical knowledge of CS fundamentals and data structures
• Experience using one or more programming languages, including but not limited to: Python, Scala, React, TypeScript, Kotlin/Java (Android), Obj-C/Swift (iOS)
• Willingness to learn and incorporate feedback as you learn to Build with Craft
• Passion for Patreon and working with the Creators

What you will have the chance to learn:

• Regularly write code and ship into production while contributing to your team’s goals and deliverables
• Gain direct and valuable industry experience from your mentor and other world-class leaders at Patreon

Who You'll Work With:

At Patreon, you'll join a high-performing and highly empathetic team of people who proudly work on fulfilling our mission of funding the creative class. Our culture of creator-first, thoughtful teammates keeps work creative, stretching, and rewarding.

Our Core Values:

Put Creators First | When creators win, we win.

Build with Craft | We sign our name to every deliverable. 

Make it Happen | We don't quit, we learn and deliver. 

Win Together | We grow as individuals; we win as a team.
