GraphQL Jobs

GraphQL is a query language for APIs that lets clients request exactly the data they need. Created by Meta, it has been adopted by companies that need flexible, efficient data fetching across multiple frontend clients. Apollo, Hasura, and AWS AppSync are popular GraphQL implementations. The technology is especially valued in companies with complex data models and multiple consumer applications.

GraphQL expertise is a differentiator for fullstack and backend roles, though it is less commonly required than REST. Senior GraphQL-focused roles in the US range from $140k-$185k, while Bharat-based positions sit at 14-30 LPA. The skill pairs with TypeScript for type-safe schemas, React for client-side data management, and PostgreSQL for efficient resolvers. Companies adopting GraphQL value developers who understand query optimization and N+1 problem prevention.
