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!)\nIf 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.\nOur Mission\nTyk is on a mission to connect every system in the world. We’ve started by building an API Management platform.\nTotal flexibility, default remote, radical responsibility\nWe 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.\nIf this sounds like an environment that you believe could work for you then read on to find out more.\nThe role\nAPIs 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.\nThis 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!\nYou'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.\nWhat you'll actually do\n Create 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.\nKeep documentation developers actually want to read up to date, alongside everything else you're creating.\n Make 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.\nTrain and support real users face to face, and feed what you hear back to product and marketing.\nLearn 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.\n Build 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.\nRequirements\nWhat we're looking for\nYou'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.\nReal 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.\nComfortable with travel across Western Europe as a regular part of the role.\nYou 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.\n Comfortable working from the command line/ terminal, and know your way around containers and Kubernetes. We're not asking for deep API or AI expertise (that part, we teach), but basic infra fluency and a grasp of core API concepts matter.\nFluent with AI tools day-to-day, with the judgment to tell AI-assisted work from AI slop.\nComfortable writing and speaking about technical topics, even while you're still building depth on APIs specifically.\n Genuine curiosity about AI and APIs, self-directed hustle, and energy for a small, fast-moving team.\nWe 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.\n\nNice to have\nAn existing following or community footprint (blog, GitHub, YouTube, conference talks).\nHands-on exposure to Kubernetes, observability tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or API management.\nBenefits\nHere’s why you should join us:\nEveryone has unlimited paid holidays. \nWe 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.\nEmployee share scheme\nGenerous maternity and paternity leave\nVolunteering Days\nCompany retreats\nEmployee Wellbeing platform\nWe 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!\nOur values tell the story of Tyk - here’s how:\nIt’s ok to screw up! \nWe’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!\nThe only stupid idea, is the untested one! \nIt’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!\nTrust starts with you - make it count! \nTrust is a two-way street - instil it from day one!\nAssume best intent! \nWe have each other’s back - we’re all on the same team. Think before you speak or act.\nMake things better! \nAlways try to leave things better than when you found them - change is constant, inevitable and embraced! Be that change we want to see.\nWhat’s it like to work here?! check it out: https://tyk.io/worklife/\nTyk 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, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.\nYou can see more about us here https://tyk.io","description_format":"text","description_chars":7303,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Integration & API Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T00:07:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.241,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":122,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:8","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T10:57:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16600,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":65143},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=65143"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftyk-api-management-junior-developer-relations-advocate"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":396848}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tyk.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":396848},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
