Junior Developer Relations Advocate

Requirements

• 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

• Our values tell the story of Tyk - here’s how:
• It’s ok to screw up!
• We’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!
• The only stupid idea, is the untested one!
• It’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!
• Trust starts with you - make it count!
• Trust is a two-way street - instil it from day one!
• Assume best intent!
• We have each other’s back - we’re all on the same team. Think before you speak or act.
