Market Manager

Engineering Manager

• Own delivery end to end across Partner Experience and Integrations Core, holding both sub-teams to a consistent bar on quality and pace without becoming the bottleneck yourself.
• Lead, coach, and grow the engineers on your team: career development, feedback, performance, and building an environment where strong people do their best work.
• Stay technically credible. You'll review design decisions on the Nexus framework and the wider integration platform, evaluate trade-offs on scalability and maintainability, and tell when a design doesn't hold up.
• Treat external developers as first-class users. Much of what your team ships is public surface area, so you'll push for stable contracts, clear documentation, and changes that don't break the partners building on you.
• Partner with Product to shape a realistic roadmap across a broad surface, surface risks early, and protect the team from over-commitment.
• Drive operational excellence: monitoring, incident response, and post-mortems that genuinely close out their follow-ups, on systems that partners depend on.
• Hire. As Primer scales through its Series C plan, building and calibrating a strong team across both sub-teams is a core part of the job, not a side task.

Engineering Manager – Partners

• Own delivery end to end for the Account Experience surface, holding the team to a consistent bar on quality, reliability, and pace without becoming the bottleneck yourself.
• Lead, coach, and grow the engineers on your team: career development, feedback, performance, and creating an environment where high-calibre people do their best work.
• Stay technically credible. You'll review design decisions, contribute to architecture discussions, and help engineers make sound trade-offs on scalability, latency, and data integrity, rather than managing from a distance.
• Partner with Product to shape a realistic roadmap, surface risks early, and protect the team from over-commitment while still moving fast.
• Drive operational excellence across systems handling real payment volume: monitoring, incident response, and high-quality post-mortems that actually close out their follow-ups.
• Help shape how Primer Companion matures as a first-class merchant interface, balancing new surface area against the platform you already own.
• Hire. As Primer scales through its Series C plan, building and calibrating a strong team is a core part of the job, not a side task.
