- Senior Engineers
- Passion for open-source and APIs
- Experience building scalable infrastructure, backend systems, or API platforms
To celebrate Christmas we introduce will it comp-ho-ho-hose, a GraphQL Federation composition game.
Starting on the 12th of December, every day untill Christmas a new challenge will be unlocked. The goal of each challenge is to guess if the two subgraphs will compose.
If you think you know Federation, or want to learn more about it's quirks, this is the game for you!
ABOUT OUR TEAM AND CULTURE: As one of our early employees, you will become a product owner of our latest offering WunderGraph Cloud (Vercel for Backend). Culture comes first at WunderGraph, so there is no Hustle culture here. You will be judged on impact, not lines of code. We offer a competitive salary, unlimited PTO, free choice of equipment, hackathons, and more!
A common problem that you're faced with when building web applications is that each application requires a unique composition of internal and external APIs, databases, file storages and authentication providers. Once you've created such a composition, it needs to be enriched with business logic and data transformations using Middleware functions.
Companies keep inventing their own solutions to this problem, the most famous one is based on the BFF pattern (Backend for Frontend), where you create a specific backend for each individual frontend. But even with the BFF pattern, the flow is still not standardized, so companies are re-inventing the wheel over and over again.
WunderGraph set sail to solve this problem. We're building on open standards, like GraphQL, REST, OpenAPI OpenID Connect, OAuth2, AsyncAPI and more to create a standardized approach to creating API Compositions and Integrations.
We're taking this one step further by building the "Vercel for Backend". WunderGraph Cloud aims to simplify cloud native software development. We want to abstract Infrastructure away completely.
Full Disclosure, I'm one of the founders of WunderGraph, but I thought I provide my 2 cents.
> The backend engineer in me is a little wary of using these and it seems like it will be hard to get off these platforms later
We're open source with a Apache-2.0 license and will never switch it.
You can also self host it yourself on your architecture or you can host it on ours.
What I like about WunderGraph personally is that it allows you to create your own firebase like toolkit with the tools you want, without getting locked into 1 vendor.
