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.
