Primer.io - Staff Engineer, FE

• Demonstrable experience operating at staff or principal level: setting front-end technical direction across multiple teams, not just within one • Deep front-end engineering expertise with TypeScript and React, and a track record of architecting complex, long-lived web applications • Real fluency in the things that separate good front-end from great: state management at scale, performance, accessibility, and component-system design • The kind of judgment that earns trust fast — engineers follow your technical lead because you're right, not because of your title • Enough comfort across the stack to reason about the APIs and services your front-end depends on, and to partner with backend engineers as an equal • Strong written and verbal communication, including making complex technical decisions legible to Product, Design, and non-technical stakeholders • Comfort working in payments, fintech, or platform contexts is welcome, though depth of engineering matters more than the specific industry • You may not like it here if: • You prefer a defined lane — at Staff level you'll be expected to find and shape the work across several teams, not wait for it to be handed to you • You think of front-end as the layer that just renders what the backend sends — here it's a first-class engineering discipline with real architectural weight • You want a QA team to catch your bugs — we don't have one, and we don't plan to • Remote-first feels like a compromise to you — for us it's deliberate, and it demands real discipline and strong async habits • ✅ A typical interview process • An initial intro call with a Talent Partner • An interview with the Hiring Manager • Challenge Stage - Contextualised to the role • A final, values-alignment interview • What's the culture like at Primer? • 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 co-working space access worldwide. • 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.
