📋 Description

• Own delivery end to end across Partner Experience and Integrations Core, holding both sub-teams to a consistent bar on quality and pace without becoming the bottleneck yourself. • Lead, coach, and grow the engineers on your team: career development, feedback, performance, and building an environment where strong people do their best work. • Stay technically credible. You'll review design decisions on the Nexus framework and the wider integration platform, evaluate trade-offs on scalability and maintainability, and tell when a design doesn't hold up. • Treat external developers as first-class users. Much of what your team ships is public surface area, so you'll push for stable contracts, clear documentation, and changes that don't break the partners building on you. • Partner with Product to shape a realistic roadmap across a broad surface, surface risks early, and protect the team from over-commitment. • Drive operational excellence: monitoring, incident response, and post-mortems that genuinely close out their follow-ups, on systems that partners depend on. • Hire. As Primer scales through its Series C plan, building and calibrating a strong team across both sub-teams is a core part of the job, not a side task.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience managing a team of software engineers, with real accountability for their delivery, growth, and performance, not just coordination. • Enough technical depth to be respected by strong engineers: you can interrogate a system design, spot the wrong trade-off, and recognise when the information you've been given doesn't add up. • A background building and operating platform, API, or integration-heavy systems, ideally ones consumed by developers outside your own company. • Comfort operating with high autonomy and little process: you resolve ambiguity rather than wait for it to be removed. • The judgement to know when a change is significant enough to pull in Staff Engineers or trigger a design review, and the credibility to hold that line. • Nice to have: • Experience with developer platforms, marketplaces, or ecosystem products where third parties build on what you ship. • Exposure to payments, fintech, or other complex infrastructure domains, though depth of engineering leadership matters more than the specific industry.

🏖️ Benefits

• 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 • Private Medical Insurance • A broad set of additional perks and benefits (*depending on location)
