&lt;div class=&quot;content-intro&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT RETOOL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software: Gartner estimates that up to 50% of all code is written for internal use. This is the operational software for refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and providing customer support. 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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At Retool, we’re on a mission to bring good software to everyone. We’re building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. We believe that the future of software development lies in abstracting away the tedious and repetitive tasks developers waste time on, while creating reusable components that act as a force multiplier for future developers and projects. The result is not just productivity, but good software by default. And that’s a mission worth striving for.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, our customers span from small startups building their first operational tools to Fortune 500 companies building mission-critical apps for thousands of users across their business. Interested in joining us? Let us know!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHY WE&#39;RE LOOKING FOR YOU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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. Since starting on our mission years ago as a frontend/view builder, we’ve since added products that help developers manage their controller and model layers – Workflows and RetoolDB, respectively. Retool’s multi-product surface area allows our builders to build full-stack apps all inside of Retool, or use the different products on a standalone basis to solve more bespoke requirements. We’re expanding our team and product surface area extremely quickly, and we’re looking for a leader to inherit and build out our new product lines, along with the platforms that power them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT YOU&#39;LL DO&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Data is the fuel that powers Retool apps and workflows. The primary responsibility of the core data team is to make sure that this “data fuel” is readily available and accessible to support new use-cases built on Retool. This means:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We’ll make it possible to connect any type of data source&lt;/strong&gt;, such that lack of ability to connect existing data doesn’t block new use-cases or customers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We’ll provide built-in data resources&lt;/strong&gt;, such that the lack or friction from supporting existing external data sources doesn’t stop a new app from getting built.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We’ll make it intuitive to work with these data sources&lt;/strong&gt;, such that it’s far easier to work with data in Retool than outside of Retool.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Every&lt;/em&gt; Retool customer is a customer of this team.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IN THIS ROLE YOU&#39;LL:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Design, build and manage backend primitives so that users can focus solely on their business logic (eg. RetoolDB)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blend product thinking with API and backend design (eg. 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?)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Debug customer problems + build features for them (eg. &quot;the Google Sheets integration doesn&#39;t support adding rows&quot;, and &quot;what&#39;s the best way to support that? Via cell ranges, or via a lightweight, home-grown ORM?&quot;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Support 20M requests/day via 60+ ways to connect data&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE SKILLSET YOU&#39;LL BRING:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4+ years experience in professional software development, ideally some of which you’ve spent in startups&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience owning technically challenging and demanding cross-functional projects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience across the entire stack, from backend to frontend (and if you have a preference, we’d love to hear it!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with JavaScript and TypeScript, as well with cloud based infrastructure like Azure, AWS or GCP&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ability to make technical decisions quickly, while looping in key stakeholders, too&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A customer-first mindset and an interest in talking with customers to make sure what we’re building meets their needs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Habit of introspection and understanding what’s helped you be successful in the past&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;content-pay-transparency&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;pay-input&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;For candidates based in San Francisco, the pay range(s) for this role is listed below and represents base salary range for non-commissionable roles or on-target earnings (OTE) for commissionable roles.
