We’re changing the way software is built at Retool. 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.

• Champion for engineering through macro process changes
• Deep technical understanding; we don’t expect you to code, but you should be able to navigate our codebase and engage deeply on design and architecture.
• A history of orienting teams and setting strategy toward engineering goals, with a bias toward impact.
• Experience successfully recruiting, building, and scaling teams.
• Operating as a business-owner – caring deeply about our customers, product, and team
