Front End Engineer - Workflows

Job Description

Primer is solving the biggest problem in payments

The last two decades have seen an explosion in new payment services to support new ways to pay around the world - from digital wallets, mobile payments, and open banking, to Buy Now Pay Later and crypto. Great for consumers! But, incredibly complex for merchants and developers. That’s where Primer comes in.

Primer is the world's first automation platform for payments. With Primer, merchants and developers have all the underlying infrastructure and "lego blocks" they need to build the best buying experiences for their customers.

We're also creating an all-new open distribution channel for payment services to reach new merchants. Any developer can build a connection on Primer; merchants then simply 'click and connect' to the services they need to build their desired payment flows within their Primer dashboard.

We have an all-star global team from across the world of payments and fintech - ex Braintree-PayPal, Stripe, Checkout, Tink, Recurly, TrueLayer, Paddle, Plaid, Kount, and more.

Since starting in January 2020, we've raised over $74M from top tier investors including Iconiq, Accel, Balderton, Seedcamp, Speedinvest, and RTP Global, to enable us to solve the biggest problem in payments.

Primer is all about ‘Minimum Viable Bureaucracy’. We want to remove all the limitations for you to do your very best work. You can be based anywhere you like, with flexibility in how you work - what matters to us is what you do.

Trust is given by default. You’ll have unlimited time off, co-working access whenever you need it, team workations whenever you want to organise them, and visibility and transparency end to end across the company and our aims.
