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 QA Analystto support our mission.
This role is based in Porto and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.
About the Team
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, Patreon is looking for a Quality Assurance Analyst to join our Trust & Safety team.

This work will be vital in ensuring Patreon can continue to help Creators grow their communities in safe ways and in turn, fund their life through their passions. As Patreon continues to grow, leveraging the skills of an established QA Analyst will be critical to supporting Patreon’s mission of giving creators a place to come for creative freedom and ownership from a Trust & Safety lens.
