Job Description

Staff Software Engineer, Backend

Primer

• Setting and driving the technical strategy across the Partners engineering teams, from architecture decisions through to hands-on implementation • Owning the design of core backend services for high-performance distributed systems, with scale and reliability as non-negotiables • Acting as the technical authority on partner integrations — shaping how third-party PSPs connect with Primer's platform and raising the bar on what "seamless" actually means • Leading and influencing engineers across teams without direct authority — through code, design reviews, and technical mentorship • Spotting and resolving cross-team technical dependencies before they become blockers • Driving adoption of modern engineering practices (BDD, TDD, rigorous documentation) and holding the line on quality • Partnering closely with Product to shape roadmap decisions where the technical constraints or opportunities are material

Job Requirements

  • Demonstrable experience operating at staff or principal level — setting technical direction across multiple teams, not just within one
  • Deep backend engineering expertise, with a track record of designing and building distributed systems at scale
  • The kind of judgment that earns trust fast — engineers follow your technical lead because you're right, not because of your title
  • Experience with Python is a strong advantage; we're less concerned about specific languages than we are about depth of backend systems thinking
  • Solid understanding of payments infrastructure or developer platform engineering — you know what it takes to build for third-party integrators
  • Strong written and verbal communication; you can make complex technical decisions legible to non-technical stakeholders.

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)*
