You'll be joining the Growth team, which owns merchant onboarding and activation: everything between a new account and a first live payment. It's a newly formed team taking on a new product area for Primer, so there's a lot of scope to shape both what we build and how.
Primer is remote-first and globally distributed — always will be.
Lead frontend architecture and technical direction for the self-serve onboarding and platform experience, with real ownership over how it's built, not just what gets shipped
You’ll spend roughly 80% of your hands-on codebase time on frontend and 20% on backend. That split is a guide, not a rule, and it will shift in either direction depending on what we're focused on at the time.
Partner closely with Design to take onboarding and platform experience from concept to production, shaping the details that decide whether a merchant's first steps with Primer feels effortless or frustrating
Mentor and raise the bar for the engineers who join the team, you're the person newer engineers learn frontend craft from
Set frontend conventions and quality standards for a team that's still being built — architecture reviews, code quality, testing approach, all early enough that your calls stick

Contribute to the Python backend where it's needed to unblock frontend work or ship a feature end to end, without needing deep backend expertise going in
Strong, proven frontend expertise — production experience architecting and building complex frontend applications, not just consuming a design system
Comfortable being the most senior frontend voice in the room, including pushing back on design or product where the frontend reality demands it
Some backend experience and a genuine willingness to work in a Python codebase — depth isn't required, but you shouldn't be reluctant to touch it
Experience mentoring other engineers, ideally including people earlier in their career than you
Nice to have, not required:
Experience building or integrating payment products
Experience in a growth, onboarding, or activation-focused product surface
The team is still forming, so you're inheriting mentoring responsibility for people who haven't been hired yet — the "who" of who you're mentoring is still unknown
Remote-first, high autonomy, no hand-holding — you're expected to set your own standards, not follow someone else's playbook
Early-stage team means some ambiguity on process and tooling that a more established team would already have solved

We're building a culture where people can do their best work and be proud of the impact they have. You'll be working with people who are mission-driven, smart, and reflective, and who are genuinely invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants. We work remotely, and have done since day one. We believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face-to-face time, including workations, our annual company retreat, and access to co-working spaces across most major cities. The work is challenging. Scaleups are a challenge, and building category-defining products is a challenge. But there's a meaningful difference between a challenge and a struggle. At Primer, the right challenge comes with the right support: strong onboarding, a collaborative environment, and a team that is genuinely invested in your success. It's never something you face alone.
