Experience in customer-facing roles for complex API products, ideally in payments/B2B.
Strong end-to-end understanding of exceptional customer support.
Skilled in troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and postmortem processes.
Exposure to On-Call duties and incident/status communication.
Familiarity with software testing, development lifecycle, and infrastructure.
Thrives in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities.

What’s the culture like at Primer?
We’re building a culture where people can come and do their best work and enjoy it. We want our people to be proud of the impact that they have at Primer, and of the work that they are doing. You will be working with a team of people who are mission-driven, smart, and reflective, and who are invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants (and we also know how to have fun along the way).
We work remotely. We believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships with each other through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face-to-face time together. Our heads-together time comes in the form of workations, our annual company retreat, and co-working space access worldwide.
Finally, let’s go ahead and say it. The work that we do is challenging. Startups are a challenge, building category defining products is a challenge. You should be prepared for a challenge at Primer. But, there’s a big difference between a challenge and a struggle. The key difference is that the right challenge comes with the right support structures, an acceptance that not everything always goes to plan, a collaborative environment, and a great team around you. It’s never a challenge that you will face alone.
Our benefits:
We are fully remote
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
