Senior Rust Software Developer II

We’re introducing Rust where correctness, performance, and reliability truly matter.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.Day-to-dayDesign and build high-correctness Rust services that sit on critical platform pathsIntroduce Rust into areas where safety, determinism, and performance are essentialOwn systems from architecture → implementation → rollout → operationsMake real decisions around concurrency, async boundaries, data integrity, and failure modesWork 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-awareImprove reliability, observability, and system behavior through design, not just patchingMentor other engineers and raise the bar on system quality and ownershipWhat We’re Looking ForWe care more about judgment and ownership than credentials.You’re likely a strong fit if you:Have built and operated distributed systems in productionHave deep hands-on Rust experience (not just experiments or side projects)Understand where Rust shines — and where it doesn’tAre comfortable reasoning about concurrency, async systems, and correctness guaranteesHave experience designing APIs and data contracts that evolve safely over timeHave worked with relational and/or NoSQL databases at scaleHave deployed and operated services in AWS or GCP (We are a GCP Shop though!)Take initiative naturally and are comfortable operating with ambiguityCommunicate clearly and make tradeoffs explicitBonus PointsThese aren’t hard requirements, but strong indicators:You’ve worked in startup or high-ownership environmentsYou’ve owned systems in production, including on-call responsibilityYou’re comfortable moving across the stack when needed (backend-first, full-stack aware)You’ve influenced architecture by earning trust, not by mandateYou 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 expensiveLatency and throughput matterSafety and correctness are non-negotiableYou’ll help define where Rust belongs, not just write Rust in isolation.Why Narvar (From an Engineer’s Perspective)?Real scale, real customers, real impactsStartup-level ownership with platform-level impactTeams that value thinking, judgment, and responsibilityLow ego, high trust, and room to do your best workWhy Narvar?We're on a mission to simplify the everyday lives of consumers. Post-purchase is a critical phase of the customer journey. That's why we created Narvar - a platform focused on driving customer loyalty through seamless post-purchase experiences that allow retailers to retain, engage, and delight customers.

With hubs in San Francisco, Atlanta, London, and Bangalore, we've served over 125 million consumers worldwide across 10+ billion interactions, 38 countries, and 55 languages.Pioneering the post-purchase movement means navigating into the unknown. Our team thrives on this sense of adventure while nurturing a mindset of innovation. We're a home for big hearts and we leave our egos at the door.
