Full Job Description
WHAT YOU'LL DO

Data is the fuel that powers Retool apps and workflows. The primary responsibility of the Resources team is to make sure that this "data fuel" is readily available and accessible to support new use-cases built on Retool. This means:

  1. We'll make it possible to connect any external resource, such that the lack of ability to connect existing data doesn't block new use-cases or customers.
  2. We'll provide built-in resources, such that builders always have whatever they need to build their next app, from databases to LLM-powered workflows.
  3. We'll make it easy and intuitive to reliably work with these resources, such that it's far easier to work with data in Retool than outside of Retool. Every Retool customer is a customer of this team.


IN THIS ROLE YOU'LL:

  • Design, build and manage backend primitives so that users can focus solely on their business logic (e.g. RetoolDB, our managed database solution; and RetoolAI, our built-in framework for wiring LLM interactions into apps and workflows)
  • Blend product thinking with API and backend design (e.g. how can we make Kafka event streams intuitive to the user and easy for us to maintain, how can we help a user use Slack without needing to dive into its documentation?)
  • Debug customer problems + build features for them (e.g.. "the Google Sheets integration doesn't support adding rows
