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.

As a Senior Customer Success Engineer at Tyk, you'll be a strategic and technical leader within the Customer Success organization. The team owns traditional support, but this role goes well beyond reacting to issues. You'll help build a proactive Customer Success function focused on long-term customer trust, early risk detection, a better customer experience, and making sure customers get the most value from Tyk.

You'll lead high-priority and technically complex engagements, mentor Customer Success Engineers, and work with Engineering, Product and Account Management to turn customer challenges into improvements across the business.

Your focus is your region. You'll work alongside the Customer Success Engineers there to raise their technical understanding, share knowledge and close gaps, so the region handles more complex work independently.

A key part of the role is improving how the team operates. You'll build processes that strengthen customer relationships, improve technical delivery and let the team scale. You'll also champion AI across Customer Success: faster debugging and investigation, better knowledge sharing, and less repetitive work.

You're the person people turn to when things get complex, whether technical, customer-facing, operational or cross-functional.
