Ensure a balance between rapid experimentation and foundational engineering quality so that successful solutions can scale efficiently. * Operational Readiness & Transition: Define success metrics and monitor experimental data to guide pivot-or-persevere business decisions. Ensure that training, documentation, and foundational testing are executed flawlessly ahead of transitioning new solutions into mainstream business units. What We're Looking For * 2–3+ years of experience as a Product Manager or Product Owner, demonstrating growing autonomy in managing product lifecycles, ideation phases, and leading short-range roadmap definition. * Advanced stakeholder management skills with a proven ability to align diverse cross-functional engineering teams, research leads, and high-profile external clients. * Strong technical grounding with concrete experience managing technically complex products, data solutions, or R&D initiatives (e.g., AI, machine learning, computer vision). * Strategic product execution experience, particularly in defining Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), proof-of-concepts, and setting clear OKRs in fluid environments. * Superb leadership and communication skills with a knack for removing product-related obstacles, conducting trade-off analyses, and keeping priorities visible. Bonus Points For * Experience working on high-performance products within a business-to-business (B2B) setting. * Experience in an R&D, lab, or startup environment bringing zero-to-one products to life. * Enthusiasm for occasional international travel to collaborate directly with sports federations, teams, and tech partners trackside to test new solutions.

Primer

An Introduction to Primer Primer is the unified infrastructure for global payments. We give finance and payments teams the visibility and control to reduce complexity, improve performance, and capture more revenue - all from a single platform. Backed by Sofina, Peak XV Partners, ICONIQ, Tencent, Accel, and Balderton, we're building the payments layer the world's best companies rely on. Watch our showcase > Read up on our $100m Series C Learn more about our culture > WHAT TEAM WILL YOU BE JOINING? Primer's power grows every time a new partner plugs in — and we make that possible at scale! In the Partners team we build the platform that enables third parties to unlock Primer's unified payments infrastructure and use it as a foundation for their own growth. We're building the app store for payments: a scalable, flexible ecosystem where partners can discover, integrate, and distribute through Primer. This team covers: Partner Dashboard, Partner Integration Ownership & Management, Marketplace, Documentation & Samples, Payment & Workflow Integrations, and the underlying integration framework (Nexus) that powers everything under the hood. Partners is made up of two sub-teams: Partner Experience, focused on the tools and interfaces that make Primer an attractive and easy platform for third parties to build on; and Integrations Core, focused on the technical frameworks that make integrations scalable, consistent, and maintainable.   WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING? * Setting and driving the technical strategy across the Partners engineering teams, from architecture decisions through to hands-on implementation * Owning the design of core backend services for high-performance distributed systems, with scale and reliability as non-negotiables * Acting as the technical authority on partner integrations — shaping how third-party PSPs connect with Primer's platform and raising the bar on what "seamless" actually means * Leading and influencing engineers across teams without direct authority — through code, design reviews, and technical mentorship * Spotting and resolving cross-team technical dependencies before they become blockers * Driving adoption of modern engineering practices (BDD, TDD, rigorous documentation) and holding the line on quality * Partnering closely with Product to shape roadmap decisions where the technical constraints or opportunities are material WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Demonstrable experience operating at staff or principal level — setting technical direction across multiple teams, not just within one * Deep backend engineering expertise, with a track record of designing and building distributed systems at scale * The kind of judgment that earns trust fast — engineers follow your technical lead because you're right, not because of your title * Experience with Python is a strong advantage; we're less concerned about specific languages than we are about depth of backend systems thinking * Solid understanding of payments infrastructure or developer platform engineering — you know what it takes to build for third-party integrators * Strong written and verbal communication; you can make complex technical decisions legible to non-technical stakeholders ✅ A TYPICAL INTERVIEW PROCESS * An initial intro call with a Talent Partner * An interview with the Hiring Manager * Challenge Stage - Contextualised to the role * A final, values-alignment interview WHAT'S THE CULTURE LIKE AT PRIMER?

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.
