About the role

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

Requirements

·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

Benefits

No benefits package published with this listing. Ask about it at first interview.
