We give finance and payments teams the visibility and control to reduce complexity, improve performance, and capture more revenue - all from a single platform.\nBacked by Sofina, Peak XV Partners, ICONIQ, Tencent, Accel, and Balderton, we're building the payments layer the world's best companies rely on.\nWatch our showcase >\nRead up on our $100m Series C\nLearn more about our culture >\nWhat We’re Looking For\nWe're looking for a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of data, software and infrastructure. You've worked in data-intensive environments and enjoy designing clean systems that move and transform data at scale. You’re someone who approaches data engineering as a software discipline - building reliable, tested, maintainable systems that empower others.\nYou'll work on building internal tools, pipelines, and APIs that support analytics, product features, and machine learning applications. You'll collaborate closely with both product and engineering teams to make our data infrastructure seamless, efficient, and delightful to use.\nStack\nCloud: AWS\n\nData Stores: Relational and non-relational e.g. CockroachDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch\n\nData Warehouse: Snowflake\n\nProcessing: Batch & streaming including CDC pipelines\n\nLanguages: Python\n\nInfrastructure: Kubernetes + Helm, Terraform (IaC)\n\nOrchestration & Transformations: dbt\n\nObservability: OpenTelemetry, Datadog\n\nDev Practices: CI/CD, automated testing, containerisation\n\nCore Skills\nStrong software engineering fundamentals: testing, code reviews, clean abstractions\n\nProficient in Python and SQL\n\nComfortable working across infrastructure and data systems\n\nExperience building and maintaining batch and/or streaming data pipelines\n\nFamiliarity with modern data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake) and transformation tools like dbt\n\nComfortable navigating cloud-native ecosystems (AWS, K8s, Terraform)\n\nMindset & Collaboration\nClear and thoughtful communicator (written and verbal)\n\nDetail-oriented\n\nTeam player (“our code,” not “my code”)\n\nEager to learn and share\n\nAdaptable - comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities\n\nYou may not like it here if:\nYou enjoy working in an office-setting, we are remote-first and always will be!\n\nYou are not comfortable with shifting context and navigating ambiguity\n\nYou don’t enjoy testing your code, we have no testers or QA’s here at Primer\n\nA typical interview process\nAn initial intro call with a Talent Partner\n\nAn interview with the Hiring Manager\n\nChallenge Stage - Contextualised to the role\n\nA final, values-alignment interview\n\nWhat's the culture like at Primer?\nWe'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.\nWe 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.\nThe 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.\nOur benefits\nWe are fully remote and globally distributed; and have been since day one\nCompetitive share options\nFlexible holiday, with 25 days minimum to be taken\nCo-working space access across major cities\nWorkations & Company Retreat\nThe best equipment for your role\n£500 towards your home office setup\nGenerous learning budget\nPrivate Medical Insurance\nA broad set of additional perks and benefits (depending on location)\nDon’t meet every single requirement?\nAt Primer, we're dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification listed, we encourage you to apply. You may be the right candidate for this or other roles.\nPrimer is committed to the equal treatment of all current and prospective employees and adopts a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination, regardless of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, or any other background or belief.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4777,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Home office","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"country"},{"name":"South Africa","iso":"ZA","kind":"country"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:34:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":16,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.432,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":76,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/primer-data-engineer-iii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/primer-data-engineer-iii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T13:20:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19900,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":172390},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=172390"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fprimer-data-engineer-iii"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fprimer-data-engineer-iii"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fprimer-data-engineer-iii"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/primer-data-engineer-iii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fprimer-data-engineer-iii"}]}
