Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We're building WunderGraph Cosmo, the open-source GraphQL Federation solution. Probably the most important component of Cosmo is the Cosmo Router, which - simply put - connects all API endpoints and handles the GraphQL requests and responses whilst applying the Federation protocol (among other magical things, like normalization, execution planning etc.). Fully written in Go, it's the fastest GraphQL Router available and a quite potent (and complex) piece of cutting-edge open-source software.
- You align with the Product team and Customer Success teams for product feedback.
- You support and consult with the engineering team.
- Develop, refactor, and maintain the open-source code base of GraphQL Go Tools' (Router) in Golang (low GC code).
- Work closely with your engineering team mates on new Router capabilities (e.g., Open Federation, new data sources).
- Focus on performance, security and stability of the Router.
- Review Router telemetry to identify areas of improvement.
- Run internal penetration tests of the Router.
- Troubleshoot router issues, potentially together with our customers' engineers.
- Analyze and accept open-source contributions on Github.
- Extend the Compiler "backend" to support Apollo Federation v2.
- Extend the Compiler "backend" to support gRPC.
- Implement a native Go-based data source for SOAP and OpenAPI, currently we're using a Node.js based solution with a bridge.
- Improve the batching implementation of the Engine.
- Improve the performance of the engine in general, driven by feedback from our customers.
