Role

Who you are

4+ years of related professional experience working with containerization (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform) and observability (e.g. Datadog, Stackdriver, Wavefront, Grafana) stacks
A strong understanding of system availability, resiliency, and recoverability
A track record of building productive, collaborative relationships, both within an engineering org and across the broader company
Experience scaling relational databases (Postgres preferred) and good knowledge of cloud, on-prem, traffic routing, service architecture in multi-region setup

You’ll own the backbone of our platform—everything from compute and storage to CI/CD, reliability and performance
This is a high-leverage role: your work will directly shape how every engineer at Retool builds, ships, and scales
Whether you’re drawn to solving broad platform challenges or going deep into performance optimization, you’ll find both scope and ownership here
You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, design, and GTM teams to make sure Retool runs seamlessly for customers big and small—and scales well beyond where we are today
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
Define and automate developer processes and workflows
Build monitoring and observability for production systems

Our take

Retool allows developers to build internal applications quickly using a complete set of ready-made building blocks. These internal applications can be used to display company data from a range of sources, including Redis, Salesforce, Google Cloud, and Slack.

For a monthly fee, the platform enables companies to save time that they would have otherwise spent on developing their own internal applications. Retool brands itself as 'low-code,' meaning that it is easy to use and customize. There is a huge demand for systems that allow teams to analyze the data they already have. Retool already counts brands such as Amazon, Philips, Peloton, NBC, and Mercedes-Benz as customers.

Founded in 2017, the company is now valued at over $3.6B. Founded by Oxford graduate David Hsu, the management team includes ex-Stripe and ex-Airbnb employees with plenty of experience in taking a company from a start-up to a global brand.
