[Hiring] Staff Engineer, Frontend @Primer.io

Role Description

The Account Experience team builds and owns the full platform merchants use to interact with Primer — from initial setup through to day-to-day operations, and increasingly through Primer AI Companion as a first-class interface. As Staff Engineer you'll set front-end technical direction across these areas, not within a single one.

• Setting and driving front-end technical strategy across the Account Experience teams.
• Owning the architecture of a complex, data-dense merchant platform.
• Shaping how Primer AI Companion matures as a first-class merchant interface.
• Holding the experience coherent across Account Setup, Monitors, Workflows, and Auditing.
• Leading engineers across teams without direct authority.
• Owning accessibility, performance budgets, and front-end observability as first-class concerns.
• Partnering with Product and Design, and with backend engineers across teams.

Qualifications

• Demonstrable experience operating at staff or principal level.
• Deep front-end engineering expertise with TypeScript and React.
• Real fluency in state management at scale, performance, accessibility, and component-system design.
• Strong judgment that earns trust quickly.
• Comfort across the stack to reason about APIs and services.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfort working in payments, fintech, or platform contexts is welcome.

Requirements

• You prefer a defined lane.
• You think of front-end as just rendering what the backend sends.
• You want a QA team to catch your bugs.
• Remote-first feels like a compromise to you.

Benefits

• Fully remote and globally distributed; and have been since day one.
• Competitive share options.
• Uncapped holiday, with 25 days minimum to be taken.
• Co-working space access across major cities.
• 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).
