Narvar median: 30 days open

The posting

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

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
