Job description

# Senior Software DeveloperNarvar · Senior · RemoteView & Apply## About the Role**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.## Key Responsibilities:* 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## 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
