Job description

An Introduction to Primer

The 21st century has witnessed remarkable expansion within the payments ecosystem with the introduction of new payment services, growth in cross-border commerce, and the development of multi-payment processor payment strategies.

The bottom line is that payment is no longer just another step in the purchasing funnel but a strategic asset that can drive business growth and innovation.

Enter Primer - the world's first unified payment infrastructure, empowering businesses worldwide to unleash their payment potential. By choosing our platform, merchants can take control over their payment stack, create unique commerce experiences, accelerate their roadmap and increase payment success.

Primer's enterprise-grade infrastructure, frameworks, and tooling allow merchants to unify their disparate payment solutions and services to build optimised payment flows tailored to their unique business needs with no code or additional complexity. We strive to make something complex incredibly simple and intuitive.

Our success so far has been reflected in the trust placed in us by category leaders such as Printify, NewLook, Voi, and Dabble, who are using Primer to transform their payments into a growth lever. Moreover, the world's top investors, including Accel, Balderton, Iconiq, and Tencent, have also invested in Primer's vision to rebuild payments and commerce from the ground up.

Join us in shaping the future of payments and commerce. Let's pave the way for a world where businesses can fully realise their payment potential.

What will the role involve?
  • Set technical strategy and execute it through hands-on implementation and extensive technical leadership

  • Often a pod (project) leader that drives the most complex initiatives

  • Empowered to make changes which would affect the whole Engineering organisation

  • A master and owner of your decisions, but always ready to roll up your sleeves for day-to-day coding when needed

  • Identify critical problems from technical and business context, finding where to apply your limited time and energy to provide the largest impact

  • Knowledge of modern tooling and picking the best tools for the job - currently we use a lot of TypeScript & React

  • Keeping an eye on what’s happening in teams, watching the decisions that engineers are making and enforce design and security reviews where needed

  • Working across all product and engineering teams, with stakeholder relationships up to CTO level

  • Supporting, leading, and advising others in their work

What are we looking for?
  • Extensive experience in Software Engineering, specialising in JavaScript and associated technologies

  • Demonstrable experience of deeply complex, high throughput systems

  • Experience building solid SDLC flow for complex frontend projects

  • Experience working at this level in another company of similar size

  • Experience driving high priority initiatives spanning multiple departments (Eng, Prod, Design etc.)

  • A natural leader with enthusiasm to coach, mentor and role model for other engineers

  • Fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and collaboration

    This position can be based ANYWHERE in European time zones, working remotely 100% of the time

    Our engineering teams work fully remotely across Europe and operate within local timezones - if you are not based in the above countries listed but would still like to apply please let us know in your application

What’s the culture like at Primer?

We’re building a culture where people can come and do their best work and enjoy it. We want our people to be proud of the impact that they have at Primer, and of the work that they are doing. You will be working with a team of people who are mission-driven, smart, and reflective, and who are invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants (and we also know how to have fun along the way).

We work remotely. We believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships with each other through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face-to-face time together. Our heads-together time comes in the form of workstations, our annual company retreat, and co-working space access worldwide.

Finally, let’s go ahead and say it. The work that we do is challenging. Startups are a challenge, building category defining products is a challenge. You should be prepared for a challenge at Primer. But, there’s a big difference between a challenge and a struggle. The key difference is that the right challenge comes with the right support structures, an acceptance that not everything always goes to plan, a collaborative environment, and a great team around you. It’s never a challenge that you will face alone.

Our benefits:
  • We are fully remote

  • Competitive share options

  • Uncapped holiday, with 25 days minimum to be taken

  • Co-working space access

  • Workations & company retreat

  • The best equipment for your role

  • £500 towards your home office setup

  • Generous learning budget

  • Medical insurance

  • A broad set of additional perks and benefits (depending on location)
