The UX hiring process at Tyk and how to stand out in your next application

The UX hiring process at Tyk, outlined by UX Architect Sophie Riches, emphasizes several key aspects to stand out as a candidate: a well-structured CV that showcases diverse experiences, a portfolio that clearly explains thought processes and personal contributions to projects, and a passion for UX demonstrated during the interview. The interview is divided into two parts, assessing both the candidate's problem-solving abilities and alignment with Tyk's company culture and goals. Successful candidates are then invited to participate in a collaborative workshop, which focuses on evaluating their teamwork and listening skills, rather than the final product. Tyk seeks UX designers who are true problem solvers, comfortable with designing complex developer software experiences, and adaptable to working with technical products beyond typical GUI environments.
