Fullstack Engineer, Tax

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 Fullstack Engineer, Tax to support our mission.

This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

The Tax team is core to Patreon’s mission, enabling creators to run real, sustainable businesses on our platform. Our work touches every dollar that flows through Patreon, from sales taxes on fan payments to income tax withholding, reporting, and remittance for creators worldwide. We build the systems that let creators confidently grow and monetize a global audience while we handle the complexity of evolving tax regulations at scale, tackling foundational product and technical challenges with both significant breadth and depth.

• Help scale and expand Patreon's tax platform, enabling creators to run compliant, sustainable businesses while getting paid accurately and on time across the globe
• Lead and contribute to the development and design of tax systems supporting sales tax calculation, income tax withholding, invoicing, reporting, and remittance
• Partner with product managers, designers, tax operations, and other engineers to build new finance-related solutions that meet financial/tax requirements and regulations globally
• Lead development of full-stack features, with a focus on modern frontend technologies like React and Type Script, while building reliable backend systems in Python and MySQL
• Support Tax Operations and Compliance teams by debugging complex data issues and building internal tools
• Contribute to a strong product‑oriented engineering culture, best practices, and bring an eye for quality and user empathy to the development process

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or the equivalent
• 3+ years of experience in software development
• Excited to maintain a high standard of quality and craft across the stack, with strong attention to user experience, data integrity, and engineering detail
• Comfortable diving into both frontend and backend code to deliver end‑to‑end functionality
• Experience designing, building, deploying, monitoring, and maintaining code in a service‑oriented architecture
• Proactive in communicating with your peers and cross‑functional partners
• Experience building products in the payments & tax domain is a plus, but not a strict requirement for this role
