GraphQL Federation Jobs

45 Open Roles — Updated Weekly

Every listing below was hand-curated from job boards, company career pages, and community tips. Each one explicitly mentions Federation (Apollo Federation v1/v2, the open Federation spec, or Cosmo) in the job description, not just “GraphQL experience a plus.” The list refreshes every week, so roles marked New are less than 10 days old.

Whether you're a backend engineer who has been quietly running a router in production, a platform architect designing your org's next supergraph, or a tech lead who just got handed a migration project, there's a role here for you. Browse the 45 open positions below and click through to apply directly on the company's site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience with a specific Federation implementation?

Not always. The underlying Federation spec is open, and the core concepts (entities, keys, references, composition) transfer across implementations. Many listings name a specific tool as shorthand for the spec rather than the proprietary platform. If you have shipped subgraphs in any framework, read the job description carefully and apply — transferable experience is more common than listings suggest.

What roles typically require Federation knowledge?

Backend engineers and platform/API engineers are the most common, but you'll also find senior full-stack roles, staff/principal engineers, and occasionally DevOps or SRE positions responsible for operating the router layer. Tech leads and architects at companies scaling past a handful of microservices show up regularly too.

How often is this job board updated?

The list is refreshed every week. Roles posted in the last 10 days are flagged New so you can filter by recency at a glance. The "Last updated" timestamp at the top of the page shows exactly when the last scrape ran.
