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 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. We fund the travel and the stages; you build a real personal profile in the API and AI space.
You’ll be writing, recording, talking, and travelling across Europe. You’ll cover the topics developers actually care about – API management, AI and API governance, observability, real implementation stories – and grow into a recognisable, trusted voice in the space. We’ll invest in your profile as much as Tyk’s, because we think they’re the same thing.
This is a genuine learning opportunity and a strong foundation for a career in developer relations. If you’re looking for a stable content treadmill, this isn’t it. If you’re hungry, happy to earn your reputation at a scrappy, fast-moving startup, and want to become a known name in the developer community – keep reading.
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.
Publish hands-on tutorials, how-tos, and ecosystem guides that enable developers to find the solutions they are looking for (think Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, OAS, GraphQL, MCP and the AI/API intersection).
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 – the kind people trust because you’re real, not polished.
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) – you’ll run them, grow them, and be accountable for them.
Experiment, measure what’s working, and aren’t afraid to try things that might not.
What we’re looking for:
Above all, the right attitude: enthusiastic, hungry to learn, a great communicator, and not afraid to try things and put your work out into the world.
Enough technical grounding to read code, understand architecture, and get your hands dirty — however you learned it. A CS degree is welcome but not required.
Some experience creating content – writing, video, or talks – even if it’s personal projects or university work.
Comfortable speaking to small groups; meetups and community events should excite you, not fill you with dread.
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.
Why you should join us:
Everyone has unlimited paid holiday.
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
Company retreats
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!
