My corresponding configuration is

fos_rest:
    view:
        view_response_listener: force

sensio_framework_extra:
    view:
        annotations: false

and it really annoys to specify the route as

@Route("/jobs", defaults={ "_format" = "json" })

every time.

So is it possible to specify it somewhere to be assumed by default?

PS:

If I remove defaults={ "_format" = "json" } and call the /jobs endpoint I'm getting an exception

Unable to find template "APIBundle:Jobs:post.html.twig".

PPS:

routing_loader:
    default_format: json

won't work because it's only used for automatic routes generation.

Answer

The final answer is much easier and is irrelevant to FOS\RestBundle:

api:
    resource: "@APIBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation
    defaults: {_format: json} # <<<<<<<
    prefix:   /api/
