We help developers build great apps with the supergraph, which is why understanding our community's needs are important for crafting an excellent Apollo developer experience. Every day, tens of thousands of developers worldwide rely on our blog posts, tutorials, and social channels to learn and engage with the Apollo platform. Your work will have a huge impact on how we help developers build apps with Apollo.

We're looking for a developer advocate to inspire and equip product engineers with the knowledge they need to be successful with Apollo. You'll accomplish that goal by working closely with our Education and Video teams, as well as the Apollo developer community to execute high-quality content. At Apollo, we value empathy and kindness, so you'll also be soliciting feedback from our community members to understand how we can solve their pain points.

What you'll do

  • Create supergraph demos with Apollo: Build and maintain examples to teach the supergraph in a creative way to product developers
  • Developer content: Craft high-quality videos, blog posts, tutorials, and conference talks for both first and third-party publications while measuring the effectiveness of your work
  • Open source: Contribute code to Apollo open-source projects and connect with Apollo community members
  • Community leadership: Lead a group of developers using Apollo and help them build a supergraph
  • Product strategy: Influence the product roadmap based on data-driven feedback from your interactions with the developer community
  • Inspire developers: Understand the struggles developers face when developing modern apps and encourage developers to rally behind Apollo as a solution if it meets their needs

About you

  • You’ve worked with a GraphQL server implementation in a production capacity and helped the project grow successfully. You can explain the value prop of GraphQL to developers.
  • You’re proficient in one of the following programming languages: JavaScript/TypeScript, Kotlin/Java, Ruby, Python, C#. You’re excited to learn how to build a subgraph in one of these languages using Apollo Federation.
  • You have a recently-updated portfolio of work, including video content, blog posts, tutorials, and/or open-source contributions, that you're proud to share with the world. Please include links to your work in your application.
  • You're passionate about growing and engaging inclusive developer communities. You enjoy teaching others about technology and you love celebrating their success when they learn something new.
  • You’re excited to teach Apollo on-camera in collaboration with our talented in-house Video team. Our DevRel strategy is centered around video content rather than in-person events, so you won’t be traveling frequently to conferences.
  • You measure the effectiveness of your work with concrete data, such as impressions, downloads, and NPS scores. You're skilled at prioritizing opportunities that will have the most impact on your goals.
The Developer Experience org is distributed across the Americas and Europe. This position can be done from anywhere in time zones ranging from UTC-8 to UTC+2.

Apollo is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace dedicated to pursuing and hiring a talented and diverse workforce.
