About the 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 our customers. And 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.
About the role Apollo assigns designers to our highest-leverage problems, and priorities are set quarterly. Current areas include developer onboarding, our core product interfaces, the design system, and emerging agentic products.
You’ll work alongside our Head of Design, owning well-scoped problem areas end to end: understanding the users and the system behind them, shaping a v1 with engineering, and shipping polished, usable experiences. You’ll bring a point of view to your work and help raise the craft bar across the team.
What you’ll do
Own design for defined workflows in our developer tools, from discovery through shipped experience.
Partner day to day with engineers and PMs to shape what gets built, and bring a point of view on scope and trade-offs.
Scope v1s that deliver value quickly, then iterate based on usage and feedback.
Design for the details that make technical products trustworthy: states, edge cases, errors, and permissions.
Contribute reusable patterns and components to our design system, and help migrate product surfaces onto it.
Use AI tools to prototype and test ideas quickly, and run lightweight usability tests when the cost of being wrong is high.
Tie your work to outcomes such as task completion, developer activation, or fewer support tickets from confusing flows.
Who you are
Minimum requirements
5+ years designing software, with a focus on product or UX design.
A portfolio of shipped work.
Experience designing complex products, ideally for technical users: developer tools, infrastructure, data, security, identity, or APIs.
A track record of owning features or workflows end to end, from discovery through shipping.
Strong visual design, interaction, and craft skills.
Comfortable working through ambiguity within a defined problem area.
Preferred qualifications
Have shipped developer-focused experiences, API tooling, or agent experiences.
Experience contributing to a design system, and knowing when to work outside it.
Use AI tools to prototype and explore ideas faster.
