Patreon employs roughly 530 people worldwide and continues to grow at a measured pace, adding 55 new team members while 44 departed. The creator-focused membership company maintains a balanced mix of technical, operational, and go-to-market roles that support its subscription platform for artists and content creators. Overall staffing reflects a deliberate approach to scaling, with investment spread across product development, business operations, and creator support.
Engineering is Patreon's largest department with around 151 employees—about 28% of total headcount—highlighting the emphasis on building and maintaining its product infrastructure. Marketing & Product follows closely with approximately 121 employees, while Business Management and Finance & Administration account for 67 and 52 employees, respectively. Human Resources, Information Technology, and smaller groups such as Sales & Support, Operations, and Healthcare round out the roster, each contributing fewer than 40 employees. The distribution shows a strong technical core complemented by essential business and support functions.
Patreon’s workforce is primarily U.S.-based, anchored by a sizeable presence in San Francisco (roughly 157 employees) and New York City (about 118 employees). Additional clusters operate in Los Angeles, Seattle, Brooklyn, Boston, Berkeley, Atlanta, and Omaha, with headcounts ranging from a handful to several dozen. Approximately one-third of employees fall into an "Other" category, reflecting remote or distributed team members across various regions. This dispersed footprint allows the company to draw talent from multiple tech hubs while retaining a significant headquarters contingent in the Bay Area.
