Apollo United States or Canada (remote) Full-time

Are you an experienced product manager excited to work with developer tools that help the biggest companies around the world scale in production with GraphQL? As a Product Manager at Apollo, you’ll provide platform engineers with the tools, capabilities, and controls they need to deploy, operate, and scale Apollo’s Federated GraphQL runtime layer.
In this position, we’re seeking an accomplished Product Manager with a highly technical acumen and background in technical platform infrastructure. As a specialized Product Manager working with Apollo Router (the API Gateway that powers our solution, GraphOS), you’ll collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Design to provide platform engineers with the tools, capabilities, and controls they need to deploy, operate, and scale Apollo’s Federated GraphQL runtime layer.
To date, the majority of Apollo’s customers run Apollo Router in their own data centers or hyperscale cloud accounts. Apollo is exploring improving our offering with a fully managed Apollo Router service, which would eliminate the need for customers to concern themselves with deploying and maintaining Apollo Router in their environments. You would be driving this strategy and the future of the Apollo Router strategy!
So join us and help shape the future of GraphOS!

  • Define and drive Apollo’s vision and strategy for Apollo Router.
  • Build and evangelize a roadmap across internal and external stakeholders.
  • Develop and validate new GraphOS capabilities directly with industry-leading customers, such as Netflix, Paypal, Wayfair, Peloton, The New York Times, and many others.
  • Own and evolve Apollo’s user experience across cloud infrastructure.

About you
