Frontend Developer

We’re the world’s first unified payment infrastructure, empowering businesses worldwide to unlock their payment potential. By choosing our platform, merchants can take control of their payment stack, create unique commerce experiences, accelerate their roadmap, and increase payment success.

We strive to make something complex incredibly simple and intuitive. The world’s top investors—including Accel, Balderton, Iconiq, and Tencent—have backed Primer’s vision to rebuild payments and commerce from the ground up.

Join us in shaping the future of payments and commerce.

Note: Unfortunately, we are unable to offer sponsorship or relocation support for this role at this time.

You’ll be joining the Acceptance team
—the engineering domain responsible for the foundation of Primer's payment platform.

Acceptance processes 10 million transactions per day across providers, markets, and payment methods. The team owns everything from core payment infrastructure to merchant-facing APIs, SDKs, and checkout experiences.

Frontend engineering in this team means building surfaces that real merchants ship to their customers—composable checkout components, developer tooling, and UI layers that make a complex payments platform usable. The quality bar is high because the stakes are real.

You’ll report to an Engineering Manager and collaborate closely with backend engineers, product, and design in a team that values end-to-end ownership.

• Lead architectural decisions, contributing to design sessions and producing RFCs and ADRs
• Build composable, performant, and adaptable UI for configurable payment experiences
• Monitor production impact using metrics and dashboards, and take ownership of issues
• Maintain a high quality bar for code and raise concerns when standards aren’t met
• Contribute to incident response, driving resolution and keeping stakeholders informed
• Share knowledge and help elevate the quality of the wider engineering team

• Strong frontend engineering experience, delivering production-grade work end-to-end
• Extensive experience with Type Script (experience with Web Components is a plus)
• Comfortable owning projects from scoping through to delivery
• Strong understanding of building accessible, performant, and scalable UI
• Ability to contribute to architecture discussions and clearly articulate trade-offs
• Writes clean, well-tested, high-quality code consistently
• Understands user and business context—not just technical requirements
• Clear and direct communicator, comfortable in async-first environments

• Fully remote and globally distributed
• Competitive salary + share options
