# Senior Software Developer, Rust

- **Company:** Narvar, Inc.
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Amazon Web Services, Data Integrity, Distributed Systems, NoSQL, Build Management, Build Tools, Front End Software Development
- **Published:** September 10, 2026
- **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/pj28z74gnh

## About the Role

* 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

## Description

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
