Junior Developer Relations Advocate

The Tyk API Management platform is helping to drive the connected world and power new products and services. We’re changing the way that organisations connect any number of their systems and services. Whether internal, external, public or highly encrypted systems, Tyk helps businesses drive value across the retail, finance, telecoms, healthcare, or media industries (to name just a few!)

If you’ve banked online, used an app to check the news, or perhaps even driven a connected car, API’s, and by extension, Tyk, make that possible. Founded in 2015 with offices in London - UK, London - Ontario, Atlanta and Singapore, we have many thousands of users of our B2B platform across the globe. Brands using Tyk range from Lotte, Bell, T Mobile, to RBS, Capital One and Vinci. We have a varied user base hailing from every continent – even Antarctica.

Our Mission

Tyk is on a mission to connect every system in the world. We’ve started by building an API Management platform.

If this sounds like an environment that you believe could work for you then read on to find out more.

The role

APIs are quietly becoming the plumbing of every AI product being built right now. We want someone who can explain that clearly, warmly and without jargon to developers figuring it out in real time: on a blog, on camera, or standing next to them at a meetup.

This is a public-facing, on-camera, in-person role. You'll be out where developers are, connecting them with Tyk: writing, recording, showing up, and turning what you're learning into content other people can learn from too. If you already make content because you love it, and you want to make it your full-time job, this is the role for you!

You'll start by heading to events alongside teammates who've been doing this for years, then step up to demos, talks and hosting your own sessions as your confidence grows.

We all share the same vision - we value authenticity, respect, responsibility, independence, honesty, diversity and inclusion and most importantly treating others how you wish to be treated. We look for like-minded people who bring their personalities to work everyday, strive to achieve their personal goals and who are willing to challenge the way we do things, why? - to make what we do even better!

Our values tell the story of Tyk - here’s how:

We’ve found that it’s often the ‘stupid’ or unexpected ideas that turn out to be the successful ones - so try it, at least we can say we have!

It’s in our DNA - starting a business with founders 12 hours apart, giving our gateway away for free - sure, we did that, and we’d do it again!

Trust is a two-way street - instil it from day one!

We have each other’s back - we’re all on the same team. Think before you speak or act.

Always try to leave things better than when you found them - change is constant, inevitable and embraced! Be that change we want to see.

Total flexibility, default remote, radical responsibility

We offer unlimited paid holidays and remote working from anywhere in the world, for everyone, Why? Tyk was founded on the principle of offering flexibility and autonomy to our employees, we believe this allows our employees to achieve their best results. It also means we can build the best possible team, location and working hours are no barrier.

Here’s why you should join us

• Everyone has unlimited paid holidays.

• We have total flexibility in hours, as we believe creativity flows better when our people are given freedom to decide when they are most productive. Everyone is unique after all.

• Employee share scheme

• Generous maternity and paternity leave

• Volunteering Days

• Company retreats

• Employee Wellbeing platform

What you'll actually do

What we're looking for

We care more about how you communicate than how deep your API knowledge already runs - that part, we can teach. What we can't hand you is the drive to go learn it yourself, or the nerve to get in front of a camera or a room of strangers before you feel ready. We can't wait to see your curiosity and confidence in action.

Nice to have
