Junior Developer Relations Advocate

Who are Tyk, and what do we do? 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 various industries.

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.

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

Total flexibility, default remote, radical responsibility: We offer unlimited paid holidays and remote working from anywhere in the world for everyone. Tyk was founded on the principle of offering flexibility and autonomy to our employees, allowing them to achieve their best results.

We want developers to recommend Tyk to their companies without being asked - and this role is central to that. We're looking for a Junior Developer Advocate to build Tyk's presence in the communities where developers are already talking about API management, AI, AI governance, and modern infrastructure.

This isn't a polished marketing role. It's a platform-building role for someone early in their career who will roll up their sleeves, learn things in public, create content as they go, and show up at the meetups and conferences where real practitioners gather.

You’ll be writing, recording, talking, and travelling across Europe. You'll cover the topics developers care about - API management, AI and API governance, observability, real implementation stories - and grow into a recognisable, trusted voice in the space.

Here’s what you’ll be getting up to:

• Create content: Produce regular written and video content on API management, AI and API governance, observability, and real customer implementation stories.
• Publish hands-on tutorials, how-tos, and ecosystem guides that enable developers to find the solutions they are looking for.
• Learn in public - share what you're figuring out as you go, rough edges and all.
• Show up in the community: Attend and speak at developer meetups and conferences across Europe, growing Tyk's visibility and goodwill through authentic, in-person engagement.
• Be a genuine, friendly presence in developer communities online and off.
• Feed community insight back into our product and marketing teams.
• Own developer marketing channels: Take ownership of specific developer marketing channels (for example, our YouTube, blog, or community spaces like Reddit).
• Experiment, measure what's working, and aren't afraid to try things that might not.

Requirements:

• Above all, the right attitude: enthusiastic, hungry to learn, a great communicator, and not afraid to try things.
• Enough technical grounding to read code, understand architecture, and get your hands dirty.
• Some experience creating content - writing, video, or talks.
• Comfortable speaking to small groups; meetups and community events should excite you.
• A creator's instinct - you want to make things and share them.
• Genuine curiosity about APIs, AI, AI governance, and where the infrastructure space is heading.
• Happy to travel regularly across Europe as part of the role.
• Self-directed and energized by a small, fast-moving team.
• AI-native: you use AI regularly and know the difference between AI-assisted and AI slop.

Nice to have:

• An existing presence in developer communities - a blog, YouTube channel, GitHub, or a talk or two.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, observability tooling, or CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with API management concepts.

Benefits:

• Unlimited paid holidays.
• Total flexibility in hours.
• Employee share scheme.
• Generous maternity and paternity leave.
• Volunteering Days.
• Company retreats.
• Employee Wellbeing platform.

We value authenticity, respect, responsibility, independence, honesty, diversity and inclusion, and treating others how you wish to be treated.

Tyk is an equal opportunities employer and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race.
