Connect agents and apps to GraphQL and REST APIs with proven infrastructure trusted by enterprise leaders. Backed by Insight and Y Combinator.
About the role
You'll help decide where design effort creates the most value at Apollo, then build it — starting with our core developer experience, the tools engineers use daily to build, test, and manage their APIs. From there, you'll have real range: another major product area, the onboarding experience for new developers, our design system, and the interfaces our AI agents use are all open ground, depending on where the opportunity is biggest.
What they're looking for
- Minimum requirements
- 12+ years designing software, with a portfolio of shipped work
- Experience designing technically complex products for technical users — developer tools, infrastructure, data, security, identity, or APIs
- A track record of identifying high-leverage problems yourself and designing end-to-end solutions
- Strong visual design and craft skills
- Skilled at operating independently to turn ambiguous problems into cohesive vision
More about this role
At Apollo GraphQL, we're on a mission to make it radically easier for engineering teams to ship fast, reliable products and services on top of the world's data, powering everything from web to mobile to agentic experiences.
Apollo supports some of the largest GraphQL APIs in the world. Companies like Walmart, Expedia, Peloton, DoorDash, and The New York Times are just a small sample of Apollo's customers. We're not looking to rest on our laurels, though — we're aiming to change how software is built.
What consumes an API is changing. Increasingly it's an agent acting on someone's behalf — one that needs a graph it can traverse and controls over what it can reach. That's the next thing we're building, and design will decide whether it's usable or not.
