Deployed Engineer

Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on, customer-focused Deployed Engineer to lead complex technical engagements for strategic customers.

This is a deeply technical delivery role where you’ll work closely with customer engineering teams to deploy, scale, and optimise Tyk in real-world production environments. From large-scale migrations to mission-critical implementations, you’ll help customers solve hard problems and deliver meaningful outcomes.

You’ll operate as a trusted technical partner — sometimes embedded within customer teams — ensuring projects move forward with clarity, continuity, and technical excellence.

Here’s what you’ll be getting up to:

• Leading complex deployments, migrations, and strategic customer initiatives in the realm of API Management, Infrastructure, GitOps, and more
• Designing complex, scalable implementation architectures and solving tactical technical challenges
• Working directly with customer’s engineering teams in building out their lower and production environments
• Delivering Professional Services engagements and supporting strategic accounts
• Identifying risks, removing blockers, and driving successful delivery outcomes
• Collaborating across Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and Sales teams
• Feeding real-world customer insight back into product and platform improvements
• Dives deep into product & code to identify root causes, problem solve solutions and if necessary, engineer pull requests to unblock the customer

Requirements

• Strong engineering background across APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native platforms
• Experience delivering complex technical projects in customer environments
• Comfortable working independently in unfamiliar or high-pressure environments
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical trade-offs clearly
• Pragmatic problem solver with a focus on quality, scalability, and customer outcomes
• Willingness to travel and work flexibly to support customer needs
• Residency in Western Europe or Americas

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.
