Description
We’re introducing Rust where correctness, performance, and reliability truly matter.
Narvar is Growing! Narvar is a multi-language platform, and we’re intentional about where we apply Rust. We’re looking for senior engineers to help us bring Rust into the backbone of the system — the parts that must be fast, safe, and correct under real-world scale.
This role is for engineers who want agency: people who enjoy identifying the right problems, choosing the right tools, and owning systems end-to-end. You won’t be handed a narrow ticket queue. You’ll help decide what gets built and how it should be built.
For this role, you should be located in Canada and able to work within EST/EDT or PDT/PST hours. We are fully remote.
Day-to-day
- Design and build high-correctness Rust services that sit on critical platform paths
- Introduce Rust into areas where safety, determinism, and performance are essential
- Own systems from architecture → implementation → rollout → operations
- Make real decisions around concurrency, async boundaries, data integrity, and failure modes
- Work across service boundaries in a polyglot environment (Rust alongside other stacks)
- Collaborate with product, design, and frontend engineers to build systems that are technically sound and product-aware
- Improve reliability, observability, and system behavior through design, not just patching
- Mentor other engineers and raise the bar on system quality and ownership
What We’re Looking For
We care more about judgment and ownership than credentials.
You’re likely a strong fit if you:
- Have built and operated distributed systems in production
- Have deep hands-on Rust experience (not just experiments or side projects)
- Understand where Rust shines — and where it doesn’t
- Are comfortable reasoning about concurrency, async systems, and correctness guarantees
- Have experience designing APIs and data contracts that evolve safely over time
- Have worked with relational and/or NoSQL databases at scale
- Have deployed and operated services in AWS or GCP (We are a GCP Shop though!)
- Take initiative naturally and are comfortable operating with ambiguity
- Communicate clearly and make tradeoffs explicit
Bonus Points
These aren’t hard requirements, but strong indicators:
- You’ve worked in startup or high-ownership environments
- You’ve owned systems in production, including on-call responsibility
- You’re comfortable moving across the stack when needed (backend-first, full-stack aware)
- You’ve influenced architecture by earning trust, not by mandate
- You use modern tooling (including AI-assisted workflows) to increase leverage, not outsource thinking
(Note: we care about outcome and judgment, not how flashy your tools are.)
Why Rust at Narvar?
Because some parts of the system deserve stronger guarantees.
We use Rust where:
- Bugs are expensive
- Latency and throughput matter
- Safety and correctness are non-negotiable
You’ll help define where Rust belongs, not just write Rust in isolation.
Why Narvar (From an Engineer’s Perspective)?
- Real scale, real customers, real impacts
- Startup-level ownership with platform-level impact
- Teams that value thinking, judgment, and responsibility
Low ego, high trust, and room to do your best work
