Infrastructure Engineer

 

Retool started as a way to address obstacles with internal tools and has grown into a company that solves internal tooling for thousands of companies, from one-person startups to S&P 500 enterprises. We’ve done a lot with a little–we have a rapidly growing engineering team and a laundry list of features and foundational infrastructure pieces we want to tackle. 

Retool is in an exciting hyper-growth phase and we need infrastructure engineers to tackle our rapid scaling challenges. These scaling challenges are unique both in scope and in technical complexity as we scale both the company and the product.

 

As an early member of the infrastructure team, you will build and automate foundational systems for reliability, security, performance, developer velocity, and scale. Whether you’re interested in wide breadth or deep depth, there are both opportunities for both. You will work cross functionally, supporting the engineering, product, design, customer success, support, and sales functions.

 

• Scale Retool’s core cloud platform for high availability and performance globally
• Work collaboratively with the rest of the engineering team to deliver infrastructure for core and emerging products
• Evolve our backend architecture/infrastructure for both cloud and on-premise deployments
• Work with the team to set and prioritize our roadmap to maximize customer impact
• Define and automate developer process/workflow
• Support our systems in production
• Develop new data solutions
• Build monitoring and observability for production systems
• Conduct engineering interviews for new team members

THE SKILLSET YOU'll BRING:

• 7+ years of relevant experience
• Track record of delivering engineering projects and process improvements
• Experience scaling cloud infrastructure
• Passion for building and productionizing developer productivity tools, frameworks, and other aspects of platform engineering
• Experience with inner workings of Linux, containers (Docker, containerd), and container orchestration technologies (e.g. docker-compose, Kubernetes)
• A love of building productive, collaborative relationships, both within an engineering org and across the broader company
• You're excited by the ambiguity and high-ownership culture of early-stage startups
• You are pragmatic, solution-oriented, and scrappy
• You enjoy working collaboratively with a broad range of job functions and roles
• Experience with our tech stack: Node, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes
• Experience scaling relational databases (Postgres preferred)
• Good knowledge of cloud, on-prem, traffic routing, service architecture in multi-region setup
