Save Job

WunderGraph is growing fast, and we’re on a mission to redefine how companies leverage GraphQL Federation at scale. Our North Star is to enable collaboration across small and large organizations, leveraging APIs as the backbone of growing the business. Mega trends like AI need data, and data needs to flow from service to service, and from agent to agent. Data flows rely on APIs, which need a schema that’s shared across all stakeholders so it doesn’t create a huge mess. WunderGraph builds the foundation to enable this. Making this look easy for customers actually means solving hard technical problems, which is why we’re looking for people like you who can help us grow and build more exciting, cutting‑edge tech! If you want to make an impact, make your voice heard, and work in a no‑BS organization so you can get stuff done: look no further and apply today!

About the Role We're building WunderGraph Cosmo, the open‑source GraphQL Federation solution. As a PaaS, Cosmo runs on modern cloud infrastructure. With Cosmo, developers can easily integrate, manage and orchestrate GraphQL APIs without a single thought about infrastructure, data storage, and security. In order for that to work, our Cosmo cloud needs to be top‑notch in every aspect: performance, robustness, security – you name it. And there's so much more we'd like to do! How about joining our team to help us shape the future of GraphQL Federation and API collaboration?
