Are you passionate about working on resilient distributed services that allow all engineering teams to do their best and most creative work? Then keep reading

As a senior engineer on the team, you'll work closely with our product teams and others to translate product ideas into well-crafted data models, clear service boundaries, and rich user experiences. We care deeply about creating a high-quality product with delightful flows, and we have an equally deep appreciation for the excellent engineering foundations that make such product development possible.

  • You may work on key foundational pieces like our large event-driven systems, user permissions system, graph variant permissions system, and more.
  • You may play a critical part in building and maintaining reliable internal services for usage-based billing infrastructure, graphql-based permissions, platform CLI tools, and much more.
  • Or you may design, implement, and maintain core backend services that power Apollo insights, observability, and metrics reporting. You'll work hands-on with real-time data at production scale.
  • You will be a leader in guiding the direction of the internal and external products that enable developers.
  • You will work on highly complex problems, leading projects and bringing other team members along with you.
  • You'll work in our exciting tech stack spanning GraphQL, TypeScript, Kotlin, Rust, Postgres, Kubernetes, Druid, and Kafka.
  • You'll work with engineering and product leadership to accomplish the team's roadmap, based on the company priorities and what you know the team can accomplish.
  • You'll use new Apollo prototypes before anyone else and help us hone our "developers building for developers" experiences.
  • You'll participate in on-call rotation.

About you

  • You've worked on distributed systems at scale, and are comfortable implementing complicated and performant microservices from the ground up.
  • You're excited about GraphQL and modern developer tooling, and are interested in helping push the industry forward.
  • You are passionate about building foundational systems, enjoy evolving core data models, and event-driven architectures.
  • You are growth-oriented and enjoy the breadth of work that comes from contributing to systems that affect every product ship.
  • You're excited to bring your own creativity/vision to the problems Apollo is solving for the developer community.
  • The idea of sharing your work broadly, both internally and externally, is exciting to you.
  • You're looking forward to working with a distributed team.

At Apollo, we strive to provide competitive, market-informed compensation whilst ensuring consistency within the team in each country. We make hiring decisions based on your skills, experience, and our overall assessment of what we learned during the hiring process.
