Enterprise Account Executive - West

Whether you binge-watch a series on Netflix, plan faraway vacations from your phone, or read international news online, you’ve likely used Apollo’s technology this week. Apollo supports some of the largest GraphQL APIs in the world. Companies like Netflix, Expedia, Peloton, DoorDash, and The New York Times are just a small sample of Apollo's customers. We’re not looking to rest on our laurels, though — we’re aiming to change how software is built.

Apollo wants to empower every software team to build an amazing user experience across any number of clients without dealing with a barrage of REST endpoints. According to the new Gartner report, by 2027, more than 60% of enterprises will use GraphQL in production (up from less than 30% in 2024), and 30% of those enterprises will be using GraphQL federation, which was pioneered by Apollo.
