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 $3.5 billion directly to creators on our platform. In order to support this level of growth, we are looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer for our Fraud & Compliance team.

  • Write a lot of python and some javascript with robust unit and integration tests.
  • Collaborate with product, fraud operations, data science, payments and compliance to engineer ways to combat fraud.
  • Integrate internal machine learning models and third-party APIs to develop robust fraud detection applications.
  • Develop internal tools for fraud operations to effectively manage manual processes.
  • Contribute at a global scale at a fast-moving, fast-growing company.

  • You have an excitement for learning new things and for working with a variety of technologies in order to ship reliable code quickly
  • You have excellent communication skills to facilitate requirements gathering, decision-making, and knowledge sharing
