Hire GraphQL Developers | Nearshore Software Development

GraphQL empowers frontend clients to request exactly the data they need and nothing more, solving the over-fetching and under-fetching problems of traditional REST APIs. You need an engineer who can architect a robust GraphQL schema, implement efficient resolvers, and manage the performance trade-offs of a flexible query language. Our vetting process is designed to find experts in GraphQL server implementation (Apollo Server, GraphQL-Yoga) and client-side integration. We test their ability to design a schema that is both powerful and easy to maintain, and their mastery of techniques for preventing common performance issues like the N+1 problem. By hiring a GraphQL expert from us, you gain a developer who can dramatically improve your API performance, reduce network overhead, and accelerate frontend development.

Are your GraphQL queries suffering from the N+1 problem?

The Problem

The flexibility of GraphQL makes it incredibly easy to accidentally create the N+1 problem, where a single query results in a cascade of database calls. Inexperienced developers fail to use data loading patterns, leading to massive performance bottlenecks.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for engineers who are masters of the Dataloader pattern. They must demonstrate the ability to batch and cache database requests within a single API call, completely eliminating the N+1 problem and ensuring efficient, high-performance data fetching for even the most complex queries.

Proof: Mastery of the Dataloader Pattern
Is your GraphQL schema difficult to evolve and maintain?

The Problem

A poorly designed schema with inconsistent naming, weak typing, or overly complex object graphs becomes a maintenance nightmare. It's difficult for frontend developers to use and even harder to extend without introducing breaking changes.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our experts are proficient in Schema-First Design. They are vetted on their ability to create a clean, consistent, and well-documented schema that serves as a single source of truth. They understand how to evolve a schema gracefully using techniques that avoid breaking existing clients.

Are you struggling to implement secure and granular access control?

The Problem

GraphQL's single endpoint can make it difficult to implement fine-grained authorization. A naive implementation often grants either all-or-nothing access, creating significant security risks.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We look for engineers with experience in GraphQL security. They demonstrate the ability to implement authorization at the resolver level, ensuring that users can only access the data they are permitted to see, even within a single, complex query.

Core Competencies We Validate

Schema design (SDL) and best practices
Resolver implementation and performance (Dataloader)
GraphQL server frameworks (Apollo Server)
Authentication and authorization strategies
Client-side integration (Apollo Client, Relay)

Our Technical Analysis

The GraphQL evaluation focuses on schema design and performance optimization. Candidates are required to design a GraphQL schema for a complex domain, demonstrating an understanding of types, queries, mutations, and subscriptions. The critical assessment is their ability to solve the N+1 problem: candidates must implement a set of resolvers for a nested query and use the Dataloader pattern to batch database calls efficiently. We also test their knowledge of the GraphQL ecosystem, including the Apollo platform, and their ability to integrate a GraphQL API with a client-side application for efficient caching and state management. Security is a key focus, requiring candidates to implement a secure authentication and authorization layer that protects sensitive data at the resolver level.
