Apollo GraphQL is busy! With millions of downloads of our open source product every week, customers like Walmart, Peloton, and Netflix (just to name a few), and our recent $1.5 billion valuation, this is an exciting time to be working at Apollo. If you are looking for a 2022 internship at a company tackling interesting projects and building the future of GraphQL technology, you want to be at Apollo.

Making a real world impact

Our interns do not work on small side projects that never see the light of day. They are in the thick of it, working side by side with more senior members of our teams on the projects and problems that are of immediate importance to our enterprise customers and open source users. Our interns are treated like full-time team members: they come to the vital team meetings and company all-hands, they are hands-on in our product and process, and — if the internship goes well — they could be looking at a full-time offer letter at the end of the internship. (All of our 2020 interns received and accepted full-time offers!)

This isn’t our first rodeo

Apollo has five years of successful full-stack engineering internships under our belt. Check out some of the work our past interns have done! For the first time, we have expanded our program for 2022 and are looking for interns across multiple functions and teams. Here is a little bit of information about each of our internships:
