[Hiring] Senior GraphQL Engineer @DaCodes

Role Description

We are looking for a highly skilled GraphQL Engineer with strong experience in the .NET ecosystem and Microsoft Azure to join our engineering team. This role is focused on designing and building scalable GraphQL APIs, collaborating with multiple teams and client applications, and operating distributed systems in cloud environments.

While experience with Kafka/event-driven architectures is valuable, the main focus of this role is GraphQL ownership, backend development in .NET, and Azure cloud operations.

Key Responsibilities

• GraphQL & API Ownership (Core Focus)
  • Design, develop, and maintain GraphQL APIs optimized for performance, scalability, and flexibility.
  • Define and evolve schemas, resolvers, and data models to support complex querying across distributed systems.
  • Own decisions around:
    • schema design and governance
    • breaking changes and backwards compatibility
    • API versioning strategies
    • documentation and best practices
  • Integrate multiple backend services and APIs under a unified GraphQL layer.
  • Work closely with frontend/client teams consuming the GraphQL API to ensure usability and performance.
• .NET Backend Development
  • Build scalable backend services using C# .NET.
  • Apply clean architecture principles and best practices within the .NET ecosystem.
  • Ensure code quality, maintainability, and performance.
• Cloud & Distributed Systems (Azure) (Core Focus)
  • Deploy and operate distributed applications on Microsoft Azure.
  • Ensure high availability, scalability, security, and observability of cloud-based services.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and optimize system reliability and performance.
• Event-Driven Architecture (Secondary)
  • Support event-driven workflows when needed.
  • Familiarity with Kafka (Confluent Kafka preferred) is a plus but not the primary focus.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience designing and building GraphQL APIs in production, including:
  • schema design and evolution
  • resolvers implementation
  • performance optimization (N+1, batching, caching)
• Strong proficiency in C# .NET and familiarity with the .NET ecosystem.
• Solid experience deploying and managing distributed systems on Microsoft Azure.
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases and data modeling.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with multiple teams.

What We Are Specifically Looking For

• We are looking for candidates with real GraphQL ownership.
• Strong candidates typically have experience such as:
  • working on GraphQL projects involving multiple teams
  • integrating different APIs into a GraphQL layer
  • defining schemas and implementing endpoints end-to-end
  • collaborating directly with frontend/client teams consuming their endpoints
• Less suitable candidates typically have experience such as:
  • contributing to small GraphQL projects with limited scope
  • no decision-making power over schema changes or architecture
  • no interaction with the teams consuming the API

Nice to Have

• Experience with Kafka / event-driven architectures (Confluent Kafka is a plus).
• Docker and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to high-throughput or real-time systems.
• Observability tools (App Insights, Azure Monitor, etc.).

Benefits

• 🚀 Integration into global brands and disruptive startups.
• 🏡 Remote work / Home office.
• 📍 If a hybrid or on-site modality is required, you will be informed from the first interview.
• ⏳ Schedule aligned with the assigned project or work cell.
• 📅 Monday to Friday work schedule.
• 🎉 Day off on your birthday.
• 🏥 Major medical expenses insurance (applicable in Mexico).
• 🛡️ Life insurance (applicable in Mexico).
• 🌎 Multicultural work teams.
• 🎓 Access to courses and certifications.
• 📢 Meetups with special guests from the IT industry.
• 📡 Virtual team-building events and interest groups.
• 📢 English classes.
• 🏆 Opportunities across our different business lines.
• 🏅 Proudly certified as a Great Place to Work.
