Job Description:
Retool is changing the way software is built. We've developed
the fastest way to build internal tools, saving companies time,
resources, and engineering bandwidth. We're looking for the right
people as we build a world-class team to support this mission. WHY
WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOURetool started as a way to address obstacles
with internal tools and has grown into a company that solves
internal tooling for thousands of companies (big and small). We've
done a lot with a little-we have a growing engineering team and a
laundry list of features and foundational improvements we want to
tackle. To continue our fast-paced growth, we need to build a
world-class engineering team. You'll help us get there by owning
end-to-end projects, talking with customers, and ultimately
supporting the growth of Retool the product and the business. WHAT
YOU'LL DOYou'll own projects from start to finish working with
internal and external stakeholders. As examples, you may improve
our user onboarding experience, work with customers to identify and
build new features, or strengthen the foundation of our operations.
Because we often make product decisions based on customer feedback,
you'll have the opportunity to connect with customers and build
something that solves their problems. You'll also weigh in on our
product roadmap as the end-user yourself.Retool is built primarily
in Javascript and Typescript, Node on the backend, and React on the
frontend. We'll look to you to bring your skillset and experience
to build within this environment and impact our codebase. You'll
also engage in technical decision-making with the team, participate
in sprint planning, and help our engineering team expand its
skillset. To that end, you'll also play a key role in helping us
grow the team through interviewing potential new team members. WHO
YOU'LL WORK WITHAs an engineer, you'll work with designers,
customer engineers, and support engineers, and our go-to-market
teams. Engineers make a lot of product decisions, and you'll
partner with our design team as you scope and build your
projects.We're a hard-working, passionate bunch who are motivated
by collaboration, strong results, and bringing the impact of Retool
to our customers. When we're in the office, we enjoy eating lunch
(and occasionally dinner!) together, and we've been known to be a
little sarcastic. But at the root of it all, we come together to
show our customers and not-quite-yet customers how Retool can make
them and their companies more efficient and successful. If this
sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you! IN THIS ROLE YOU'LL:
Improve the UX of the Retool core editor, which involves plenty of
interesting problems, both technical (e.g. "how do we implement our
drag and drop system in a performant way?") and otherwise (e.g.
"how do we handle the pushing of existing components when dragging
new components on?") Build entirely new product lines (e.g. an
interface to share queries - both SQL, and REST + GraphQL across
your company) Debug customer problems + build features for
them(e.g. "the Google Sheets integration doesn't support adding
rows", and "what's the best way to support that? Via cell ranges,
or via a lightweight, home-grown ORM?") Write technical blog posts
(e.g. "here's how we implemented role-based access controls")
anddocumentation(e.g. if you build the Google Sheets integration,
you will write documentation on how it's used) Help assess and
recruit future engineers THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING: 5+ years
experience in professional software development, ideally some of
which you've spent in startups Experience owning technically
challenging and demanding cross-functional projects Experience
across the entire stack, from backend to frontend (and if you have
a preference, we'd love to hear it!) Experience in Javascript
Experience with cloud based infrastructure like Azure, AWS or GCP
Ability to make technical decisions quickly, while looping in key
stakeholders, too A customer-first mindset and an interest in
talking with customers to make sure what we're building meets their
needs Habit of introspection and understanding what's helped you be
successful in the past Bonus points if you have experience in
mentoring other team members, and have previously worked closely
with designers OUR US BENEFITS: Generous medical, dental and vision
benefits 401(K) plan enrollment and matching up to an effective
rate of 4% Paid company holidays and unlimited time off; take what
you need! Annual continuing education stipend Paid parental leave
