Primer is here to make payments simple.

By connecting to us, businesses around the world are connected to everything they need to make payments happen.

Set up in the UK in 2020 by an ex PayPal team, we’ve been backed by some of the world’s leading investors including Balderton Capital and Accel. We’re also partnered with Klarna, GoCardless and Worldline among others.

Our teams work remotely, from anywhere. We value drive, autonomy, and transparency, and we’re looking for people to shape our culture as much as we’re looking for people to build our product.

What will the role involve? 👩‍💻

• Being our first dedicated Web Developer - owning our website and honing it as we grow, working alongside peers from across the company - Design, Product, and more. This is an integral role as our website explains our vision and value proposition, and needs to be as simple, well designed and easy to use as our product is.
