As a Senior Backend Engineer at Apollo, you'll be a critical part of a fast-growing company, working on a cross-functional team to build highly scalable systems and set the bar for how we engineer. The way we build has changed: this is an AI-native role. We're not looking for someone who also uses AI, we're looking for someone who thinks with it, forms their own hypotheses, pressure-tests what AI produces, catches its errors, and design more robustly than they could alone.
You'll work in an open, collaborative environment, give and receive hands-on mentorship, and have real opportunities to grow. You'll interface daily with design, front-end, analytics, product, and teams beyond Engineering. You enjoy working cross-functionally to solve hard problems and make an impact. You strive for quality, are obsessed with improving it, automation, monitoring, squashing the bugs that sneak through and you're always investigating performance improvements and better ideas.
Must have: Curiosity, AI-native engineering judgment, communication skills, problem solving.
Nice to have: BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar; GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Mongo, Redis, Ruby on Rails, Microservices, Machine Learning

It depends on the role, and each job posting states whether it is remote, hybrid or office-based. Hybrid roles are attached to an office location, and hybrid postings that state a number ask for three days a week in the office. Remote roles are posted for a named country rather than as work-from-anywhere.
Apollo says the process varies by role, but most candidates can expect four stages: a 30-minute recruiter call, a series of one-on-one interviews with two to four team members, a task or AI-powered skill assessment for certain roles, and a final interview with senior leadership.
US job postings include a pay range, and many are tiered by location, with a higher Tier 1 range for San Francisco, New York City and Seattle and a Tier 2 range for all other US locations. For sales roles the range is on-target earnings, covering base salary plus the commission or bonus target. Ranges can span several career levels and are narrowed during the interview process. Applicants outside the US may request the salary range for their location during the interview process.
Partly. Apollo's careers pages list flexible time off with no counted vacation days, performance bonuses and equity opportunities for most roles, stipends for books, courses and home office setup, and coaching and mental health support for employees and their dependents, without a country restriction. Medical, dental and vision coverage is offered in the US, Canada, India and other supported countries. The longer list in Apollo's US job postings, including a 401(k) plan, at least 10 paid holidays a year, parental leave, life and disability insurance and FSA or HSA options, is described for US roles only.
