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
