h3Who are Tyk, and what do we do? /h3 pThe 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. /p h3Our Mission /h3 pTyk is on a mission to connect every system in the world. We've started by building an API Management platform. /p pTotal flexibility, default remote, radical responsibility /p pWe 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. /p pIf this sounds like an environment that you believe could work for you then read on to find out more. /p h3The role /h3 pAPIs 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. /p pThis 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! /p pYou’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. /p h3What You’ll Actually Do /h3 ul liCreate content - blog posts, tutorials,
videos, and screen-share walkthroughs on real ecosystem topics (MCP, OpenAPI, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Security, governance, and anything at the AI/API intersection) and real customer implementation stories. Teaching over pitching /li liKeep documentation developers actually want to read up to date, alongside everything else you’re creating /li liMake meetups your bread and butter - one or two events a week, from scrappy local meetups to the big conferences. Short demos, real conversations with attendees, our swag in your backpack. You’ll attend, present and increasingly host them yourself, with regular travel across Europe (including London) built into the role /li liTrain and support real users face to face, and feed what you hear back to product and marketing /li liLearn in public. Share what confuses you, not just what you’ve mastered. Picking up Tyk, OWASP API security, rate limiting or distributed architecture in real time is the content, and that’s what makes it useful and human /li liBuild a real, problem-led presence in the communities that matter (Reddit, Hacker News, dev X/Twitter, YouTube): helpful answers and honest takes over polished product pieces /li /ul h3Requirements /h3 h3What we’re looking for /h3 ul liYou're already making tech content, consistently - on YouTube, a blog, LinkedIn, wherever. Not a one-off: show us something you’ve made, and that you keep making it /li liReal experience doing something adjacent to this already: Developer Advocate, Community Manager, Technical/Solutions Support, Technical Content Creator, Campus Ambassador, or a junior engineering role with a visible content or community side project /li liComfortable with travel across Western Europe as a regular part of the role /li liYou must already have the right to work and travel across Europe - we can’t sponsor visas for this role, so if that’s not already in place, this one unfortunately isn’t open to you right now /li liComfortable working from the command line/ terminal, and know your way around containers and Kubernetes.

even while you’re still building depth on APIs specifically /li liGenuine curiosity about AI and APIs, self-directed hustle, and energy for a small, fast-moving team /li /ul pWe 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.
