Senior Software Developer

Requirements:

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
