About Primer
Primer sells unified payments infrastructure: merchants connect their processors and payment methods through one platform, which gives finance and payments teams visibility and control over how payments perform. Because it handles payments for large merchants, threat detection is a priority, and its one security opening is a Security Engineer III in detection and response, part of engineering. Out of 22 roles on the board, this is the only security post, and it is remote within the United Kingdom.

Some of these links can earn us a fee from the employer or partner; the salary you are offered is the same either way.
A few links on CyberJobs.cc are referral links: when one leads to a hire, a sign-up or a purchase (a lab, a course or a tool marked Partner), the company behind it may pay CyberJobs.cc a fee. You pay nothing extra, and it never changes the salary an employer offers you or which roles the board lists.
