**The Challenge**
Tyk is a high-performance API Gateway and Management platform that is used by fortune-500 companies and hip Silicon Valley startups alike. Tyk is an open source project, and we built it so that we could shape the way that people connect the world.
Our software needs to be fast, reliable, and robust – and most of all, built in a way that is scalable, well tested and readable.
We’re big believers in code as craft, and want that to be reflected in our own codebase. That’s where you come in…
**Remote Working & BYO**
We at Tyk believe that you should work with the tools you are comfortable with and in an environment that is your happy place.
Our engineering team is almost exclusively remote (though you’re welcome to pop into our London or Singapore offices), we work with video-conferencing, slack internal comms tools to make sure we’re always connected.
Most importantly, we have an asynchronous, and inclusive process that ensures that everyone – no matter their time zone – can participate in product discussions.
You can work on your own equipment, or we’ll be more than happy to ship you a brand new Macbook Pro if you don’t want that.
Of course – a little face time is good for the soul, we commit to operating two company retreats per year to get everyone together, so you’ll be jetting off to somewhere cool soon enough!
**Our Mission**
The internet started by connecting mainframes, by the end of the 20th century 600m desktop and laptop computers exchanged email and web-traffic.
Today around 15 billion ‘things’ are connected to the internet, growing at a rate of a billion per year.
Tyk are committed to enabling interconnectivity between systems and between devices. We’ve started by building an API Management platform.
**Benefits**
Our early stage team members will shape our business, there is an attractive package based on experience and performance that includes equity. Everyone has unlimited holiday.
You will work with a talented, and passionate team of industry experts, developing a cutting-edge product that is driving change and innovation within startups and household names alike.
We’re a distributed team. Work from our London office during induction, once you are up to speed, you can work from home, a cafe, your mum’s house, wherever you get your best work done, we’ll support you in making that happen.
The best software and hardware available – we are prime movers in “The New Stack”, our setup reflects that.
We are growing rapidly and are looking for team members keen to grab hold, accelerate that further and shape our future.
