Team mission
The API Platform team enables product and engineering teams across GetYourGuide to build fast, reliable, customer- and supplier-facing experiences by owning and evolving our GraphQL API layer. We define the standards, tooling, and infrastructure that govern how data flows from our services to our clients — at scale, with high availability, and under constant traffic from millions of travelers.
Your mission

• Design schemas and query patterns that balance flexibility for consumers with performance and reliability at scale.

• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks — N+1 patterns, over-fetching, slow resolvers — in production systems under real traffic.
• Partner with product engineering teams as an internal platform owner: unblock them, onboard them, and raise the quality bar across the org.
• Drive observability: query tracing, latency analysis, and SLA monitoring for the GraphQL layer.
• Mentor engineers across the org on GraphQL best practices.
