Software Development
API

Tyk's API Management Platform was established in 2014 and 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 the retail, finance, telecoms, healthcare, or media industries (to name just a few!)

If you’ve banked online, used an app to check the news, or perhaps even driven a connected car, API, and by extension, Tyk, make that possible. Founded in 2015 with offices in London, Atlanta and Singapore, we have thousands of users of our B2B platform across the globe. Brands using Tyk range from Audi, Dominos, Starbucks, to the Financial Times, RBS and Societe Generale. We have a varied user base hailing from every continent – even Antarctica.

Approach to inclusion

Tyk is an extremely diverse business: we have tyklings across 41 different countries (and growing!) We have an equality, diversity and inclusion policy as we are committed to developing, maintaining and supporting a culture of inclusivity.

Flexible working at Tyk

Flexible working at Tyk has been important from the beginning, we're a flexible employer with a remote-first approach.

When Tyk was established, our founders realised that they would be in completely different time zones, raising young families, and decided from the outset that Tyk would be a flexible, fully remote company. You can work from wherever suits you, as long as you can attend your meetings with customers and colleagues. As long as you're happy, we are too!

For staff that want to connect or work in person, we have dog friendly offices open and available in London, Atlanta and Singapore.

Working Environment

I love working at Tyk. The flexibility compared to other companies I've worked at is outstanding. The company culture is well-rounded and I feel safe working here. I think that there is a good distribution of every walk of life represented here and I'm happy to represent our company. Unlimited PTO takes away the guilt of getting away from work to spend much-needed time with family and friends.

Purpose

Working here means I can never relate to my friends having toxic workplaces/mates. I work with many talented individuals who are also there to assist me in developing my role and ultimately contributing to the organization's goals. Everyone is so good at what they do you can't help but be good at yours, too. Work-Life balance is phenomenal - "unlimited holidays" is a no-brainer. Trust is our currency, and we have instilled it since 1st day. No fear in failing - we do it fast and we sure do learn from it.

Working Environment

Working at Tyk has been great so far, the work life balance is excellent and you get enough room to make mistakes and grow from that.

Growth & Learning

Tyk offers great challenges and opportunities in a very flexible environment at the cost of never reaching your goals unless work-life tends very sharply towards work.

Working Environment

I really love the freedom and flexibility that our company provides. Having an unlimited holiday is really true and I never had this kind of time-off with my previous companies. This makes me cater to all the important business that I have especially when processing banks and government stuffs which are only open during weekdays.

64a4a7cac6ccee18c13615f2

Working Environment

Tyk is the most flexible place I have ever worked. Whilst many companies offer unlimited holiday or flexible hours/remote working, once you join you find the reality is very different - I was expecting the same thing at Tyk, but was blown away by how human this company is. I am so happy that the leadership team practice what they preach, actively encourage time off, with no shaming people for having care duties, life events that happen monday-friday, or questioning of sick days. The culture is truly centered on making sure your work works around your life, rather than the other way around. I believe that this encourages myself and my colleagues to go above and beyond because we recognise how rare and privileged we are to be trusted to work however works best.

Working Environment

Work-life flexibility was one of my main criteria when looking for a new role. Tyk seemed to promise everything I wanted - fully remote, totally async if needed, and unlimited leave to allow me to really enjoy life or take a day or two to recharge when needed. Over a year at the company later I can say that Tyk not only promised these aspects, but that they fully delivered. A fantastic take on work-life balance has been curated at Tyk.

64a4a7cac6ccee18c13615ee

Working Environment

I've never worked in a more flexible environment. It's not just about Tyk saying that we have flexibility - the leadership team demonstrate this in their daily working lives, and tell us about the opportunities they've taken to work in a way that suits them. That encourages everyone else to trust that they can truly take advantage of that flexibility. Saying it is one thing, but actually living it is something else.

Culture

I love Tyk, they have been very supportive always with everything. My daughter was sick for many months to the point that she needed to stay at the hospital for a week. One day we have to leave on a rush and my workload was completely owned by my colleagues and I got all the time I needed to take care of my little one. The flexibility also allows me to take care of the school runs and workout during the hours that I find more convenient, I own my schedule and I am the most efficient ever.
