Primer is a company that offers a unified payment infrastructure, enabling businesses to streamline and optimize their payment processes. With its advanced technology, Primer provides solutions for managing payments, boosting conversion, enhancing payment success rates, and creating seamless checkout experiences.

Primer aims to accelerate global growth for companies by simplifying payment operations, reducing fraud, and enhancing customer experiences.

📋 Description

• Take full ownership of backend features from scoping through to production, keeping the team informed on progress, risks, and blockers without being chased. • Design and deliver backend services that handle real payment volume, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and correctness at scale. • Contribute to architecture discussions, bring proposals to the engineering council, and advocate for clear service contracts and simple, maintainable system design. • Monitor the production impact of your own work, identify issues early, and drive incidents to resolution when they arise. • Write code that your peers consider high quality: production-ready, well-considered on error paths, and built with the next engineer in mind. • Actively contribute to Primer's engineering standards, raise concerns when you see gaps, and help the team hold a consistent bar. • Collaborate with engineers across the Orchestration team on scoping sessions, code reviews, and technical decisions that shape how the system evolves.

🎯 Requirements

• Solid backend engineering experience, with the ability to take ambiguous requirements and deliver working, production-ready software with minimal direction. • Strong grasp of distributed systems fundamentals: you understand why things fail in production and you build accordingly. • Comfortable working with REST APIs and the patterns that make services reliable, observable, and easy to reason about. • Experience owning work end to end — not just writing code but thinking about monitoring, rollout, and what happens after deployment. • The confidence to contribute to architecture discussions, ask the right questions, and push back when a design decision doesn't make sense. • Experience in a payments, fintech, or infrastructure context is a plus, though depth of engineering matters more than the specific industry.
