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 including retail, finance, telecoms, healthcare, and media. 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.
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.
The role: 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, covering topics developers care about – API management, AI and API governance, observability, and real implementation stories. This is a genuine learning opportunity and a strong foundation for a career in developer relations.
What you’ll be responsible for:
- Create content: Produce regular written and video content on API management, AI and API governance, observability, and real customer implementation stories.
- Show up in the community: Attend and speak at developer meetups and conferences across Europe, growing Tyk’s visibility through authentic engagement.
- Own developer marketing channels: Take ownership of specific developer marketing channels (e.g., YouTube, blog, or community spaces like Reddit).
What we’re looking for:
- 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 energised by a small, fast-moving team.
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.
Why you should join us:
- Unlimited paid holiday.
- Total flexibility in hours.
- Employee share scheme.
- Generous maternity and paternity leave.
- Company retreats.
