How to Hire a GraphQL Developer
What is GraphQL?
GraphQL is a query language that lets your app ask for exactly the data it needs from the backend. Unlike REST, which often returns fixed sets of data, GraphQL gives you full control over what’s requested and returned - reducing overfetching, underfetching, and unnecessary API calls.
Technical Proficiency and Soft Skills
Strong grasp of GraphQL schemas, queries, mutations, and resolvers
Experience with GraphQL servers (e.g., Apollo Server, GraphQL Yoga)
Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and frontend frameworks (e.g., React)
Understanding of API design, data modeling, and integration with REST
Clear communication and cross-functional collaboration
Problem-solving mindset with focus on performance and scalability
Where to find GraphQL Developers
You can find skilled GraphQL developers on platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and GraphQL-focused forums. Apollo’s community and React communities often include experienced GraphQL engineers. Remote job boards like RemoteOK and WeLoveReact are great for reaching global talent. Many top developers also freelance or work through React and API-focused agencies. But you can save yourself the time and hire directly from us. You can get expert GraphQL devs within hours.
The Cost of Hiring GraphQL Developers
GraphQL expertise is in high demand, often paired with React or full-stack skills. In the US, GraphQL developers typically earn around $120,000 to $150,000 annually. Freelance rates range from $80 to $170 per hour, depending on experience and tech stack.
ReactSquad offers startup-friendly rates at $75 per hour.
