Senior Rust Software Developer, Narvar

• 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
• 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

Desirable

• 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
• You won’t be handed a narrow ticket queue
• You’ll help decide what gets built and how it should be built
• You'll 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
