Frontend Engineer (Account Experience) at Primer

Primer is the unified infrastructure for global payments, providing finance and payments teams with visibility and control to reduce complexity, improve performance, and capture more revenue from a single platform. Backed by top-tier investors, Primer is building the payments layer relied upon by the world’s best companies.

🔍 What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own frontend projects end-to-end, from scoping through to production, across Acceptance's payment surfaces, checkout components, and merchant-facing tooling.

• Lead architectural decisions on frontend systems, contributing to design sessions and producing RFCs and ADRs with minimal reliance on more senior engineers.

• Build composable, performant, and adaptable UI.

• Monitor the impact of your work in production, use metrics and dashboards to catch issues proactively, and take full ownership when fixes are needed.

• Hold a high-quality bar for your own code and raise concerns about code quality issues in the codebase.

• Contribute to incident response, taking the lead, driving to resolution, and keeping stakeholders informed.

• Share knowledge actively and help raise the quality and confidence of the engineers around you.

👀 What We’d Love to See:

• Solid frontend engineering experience, with a track record of independently delivering production-grade work across the full lifecycle.

• Extensive experience with TypeScript and ideally web components.

• Comfortable taking on a project, scoping it, planning the architecture, and seeing it through without needing direction.

• Strong understanding of building accessible, performant, maintainable UI at scale, ideally in a context where quality directly affects end users or downstream integrations.

• Able to contribute meaningfully to architecture discussions and articulate trade-offs clearly.

• Writes clean, well-tested code that peers would consider high quality and holds themselves to that standard consistently.

• Understands the user and business context behind the work, not just the technical brief.

• Communicates clearly and directly, especially in async-first environments.

✅ Typical Interview Process:

• An initial intro call with a Talent Partner

• An interview with the Hiring Manager

• A Challenge Stage contextualized to the role

• A final, values-alignment interview
