Narvar careers: remote jobs, culture and where they hire

Narvar builds the software retailers use to manage everything that happens after checkout: delivery tracking, proactive shipping notifications, returns and exchanges, fraud and delivery protection. It was founded in 2012 by Amit Sharma, who had previously worked on delivery and personalization at Walmart.com and Apple after starting his career at Williams-Sonoma, on the observation that brands spend heavily to win a sale and then hand the entire post-purchase relationship to a shipping carrier. Its product suite (Promise, Track, Shield, Notify, Secure and Assist) runs on an internal data layer the company calls IRIS.

Narvar is headquartered in San Mateo, California, with additional offices in London and Bangalore. According to the company, its platform is used by more than 1,500 brands, including Nike, Sephora, Lululemon, Glossier, Gap, Puma, Levi's, Dyson, SKIMS and Home Depot, reaches roughly 125 million consumers and processes more than 74 billion interactions a year, touching an estimated 90% of US online shoppers.

The engineering pitch is explicit: the company's careers page describes offering 'the agility, ownership, and autonomy of a startup, paired with the scale, complexity, and impact of a global enterprise.' Engineers work against one of the larger post-purchase datasets in commerce, supporting retailers across roughly 38 countries and dozens of languages, and are positioned as early adopters of new tools before they reach the mainstream.

Current engineering job postings are unusually direct about how code is expected to get written: a Senior Fullstack Developer listing asks candidates to 'treat AI (e.g., Claude) as your primary engineering surface, orchestrating, reviewing, and shipping through it,' and the Senior Engineering Manager posting expects someone who can 'drive an AI native way of building' using agent harnesses and loop engineering. This is a stated hiring bar, not a buzzword aside.

Compensation is published on every posting. Recent Canada-based roles list CAD 141,000 to 198,000 for a Senior Fullstack Developer and CAD 196,000 to 273,000 for a Senior Engineering Manager, excluding bonus, equity and benefits, which include health, vision and dental coverage, parental leave and flexible time off.

Day to day, Narvar describes its home base around the San Francisco Bay Area as hybrid, alongside offices in London and a growing engineering team in Bangalore. Its own blog separately calls Narvar 'a remote-first company with a global, distributed workforce,' and describes Slack as the company's 'digital headquarters' for both work and social channels.

In practice, current engineering hiring is narrow and specific: every open engineering role as of mid-2026 is fully remote but restricted to candidates based in Canada, with a stated preference for Vancouver or Toronto and a requirement to work EST/EDT or PST hours. Employees quoted on the company blog cite time saved from not commuting and fewer distractions as the main draw of working remotely.

Candidates on Glassdoor describe a recruiter screen, a hiring manager interview, and a technical loop of about three rounds covering high level design, low level design and domain specific questions, followed by a culture fit conversation. Glassdoor lists an average hiring process of roughly 24 days and an interview experience rated about 68% positive.

Every current opening publishes its salary band up front and screens explicitly for AI native engineering practice, so candidates should be ready to talk concretely about how they use coding agents in their daily workflow rather than treat it as a checkbox.
