[Hiring] Junior Developer Relations Advocate @Tyk Technologies

Role Description

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.

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 (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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Requirements

• 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

• Everyone has unlimited paid holidays.
• Total flexibility in hours, as we believe creativity flows better when our people are given freedom to decide when they are most productive.
• Employee share scheme.
• Generous maternity and paternity leave.
• Volunteering Days.
• Company retreats.
• Employee Wellbeing platform.
