At Primer, Solutions Engineers are trusted technical advisors to some of the most forward-thinking companies shaping the future of commerce. We don’t just support merchants, we empower them to build smarter, faster, and with confidence on top of Primer’s unified payments infrastructure.

From day one, you’ll work closely with product, engineering, and commercial teams, translating complex needs into scalable solutions, guiding technical strategy, and ensuring every integration is rock-solid. Whether you’re unblocking a proof of concept or future-proofing an architecture, your focus is on making things possible.

This role is perfect for curious minds who thrive at the intersection of technology and impact. You’ll bring clarity to complexity, act as a critical voice in shaping product evolution, and make sure our merchants don’t just go live: they go further.

If you’re excited by meaningful challenges, collaborative problem-solving, and the chance to drive change at a global scale, we’d love to meet you.

For this position, we require fluency in French and English.

• Working closely with our growing sales team to identify merchant pain points; and consulting with those merchants on the value of Primer to address those pain points

• Providing technical expertise to the sales team to partner with them in business development

• Translating business requirements into technical solutions, and translating complex technical concepts into simple language

• Driving forward client engagements via discovery sessions, solution design workshops, product demos, developer Q&As, and more

• Confidence and ease in leading discovery sessions and working with technical counterparts at some of the largest merchants

• Deep interest or knowledge about tech. Being able to understand, explain, and design complex technical specifications is key.

• Creativity and improvisational skills. Rarely are two merchants alike, and you don’t always have days to prepare for them.

• Great communication & presentations skills - you can make the complicated sound simple and interact with stakeholders, technical and non-technical, alike

• A collaborative approach - to efficiently work with clients, partners, and internally, with Product, Engineering, and Sales

• Drive and motivation; we’re growing fast and we want you to grow with us!

• Someone who gets things done and makes an impact

• Experience working in a fast-paced and scaling environment

We're building a culture where people can do their best work and be proud of the impact they have. You'll be working with people who are mission-driven, smart, and reflective, and who are genuinely invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants.
We work remotely, and have done since day one. We believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face-to-face time, including workations, our annual company retreat, and access to co-working spaces across most major cities.
The work is challenging. Scaleups are a challenge, and building category-defining products is a challenge. But there's a meaningful difference between a challenge and a struggle. At Primer, the right challenge comes with the right support: strong onboarding, a collaborative environment, and a team that is genuinely invested in your success. It's never something you face alone.
