Description
Software Engineer, Apps Builder Experience
Location: San Francisco
Department: Engineering
Location Type: HYBRID
Employment Type: FULL_TIME
WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU
Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling customer support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless other processes you might not have even thought of. But most companies don't have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows. We build tools that make it easy for anyone technical to build internal software that’s powerful, well-designed, and meets enterprise standards.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a product engineer, you'll own the architectural foundations of how millions of apps are built, loaded, and persisted at Retool—touching the core product that thousands of companies rely on daily. You will work on features that impact thousands of customers globally and have the ability to change how applications are built across all parts of the stack. You will:
- Own end-to-end projects improving Retool’s core Apps product offering, making it easier for companies to build internal software that powers their businesses
- Collaborate with the team to build and improve the architectural foundations of how apps are built, loaded, and persisted within Retool
- Meet with internal counterparts to enhance customer thinking and partner closely with product on building out features
- Improve scalability and performance of Retool’s platform
- Debug and fix customer problems
- Help assess and recruit future engineers
You’ll work in a TypeScript + Node.js + React stack, but we value strong engineering fundamentals over specific frameworks. You should be comfortable navigating the full stack, even if you lean more frontend or backend.
WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
You will work closely with product and design teams to build, ship, and iterate new features. You’ll also work closely with our AI engineering team as we work to build the first enterprise AppGen platform—software that transforms natural language into production-ready code, integrates directly with business data, and meets the highest standards of security and governance.
THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING
- 5+ years experience in full stack web development, ideally with strong JavaScript / TypeScript proficiency
- Experience owning technically challenging and demanding cross-functional projects
- Experience working with product managers and/or designers
- An eye for product: you care how features work and how they feel
- Ability to make technical decisions quickly, while looping in key stakeholders
- 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
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience with PostgreSQL
- Experience in mentoring other team members
