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.

Here’s what you’ll be getting up to:

• Own the technical onboarding journey from post-sale through to production readiness
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to customer engineering teams
• Guide customers on architecture, best practices, and long-term platform adoption
• Troubleshoot technical and production challenges alongside customers
• Deliver workshops, enablement sessions, and technical guidance
• Identify adoption risks and proactively drive successful outcomes
• Partner closely with Account Managers to support strategic accounts and expansion opportunities
• Collaborate across Presales, Support, Product, and Engineering to improve the customer experience

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native architectures
• Experience working directly with technical stakeholders, including engineers and architects
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and pragmatically
• Confident leading technical discussions, onboarding engagements, and architecture reviews
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in production environments
• High ownership mindset with strong judgement and initiative
• Comfortable working in fast-moving, collaborative environments focused on impact over bureaucracy
• Willingness to travel when required

Benefits

Here’s why you should join us:

• Everyone has unlimited paid holidays.
• 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
• Volunteering Days
• Company retreats
• Employee Wellbeing platform

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!

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.

• Make things better!

Always try to leave things better than when you found them - change is constant, inevitable and embraced! Be that change we want to see.
