Software Engineer, Retool

• You should be comfortable navigating the full stack, even if you lean more frontend or backend
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
• A track record of building and shipping real product—not just models or papers
• Experience working with LLMs and modern techniques (RAG, CoT, few-shot, embeddings, etc.)
• An eye for product: you care how features work and how they feel
• Familiarity with vector databases, prompt orchestration tools, and evaluation techniques
• A pragmatic mindset about what’s scalable and maintainable in production
• Strong opinions, weakly held—you move quickly but bring others along
• Bonus: experience building AI features for developer tools or productivity software

Desirable

• We’re hiring AI Product Engineers to help us push the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs in the hands of developers
• As an AI Product Engineer, you’ll work across product and infrastructure layers to ship developer-facing AI features that feel like magic—intelligent, fast, and deeply embedded into the act of building software
• Build generative UIs that let users create real apps from natural language
• Improve the performance, observability, and safety of our internal model architecture
• Extend our AI evaluation systems to support smarter ranking, feedback loops, and product metrics
• Develop patterns for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), few-shot prompting, and agentic architecture
• Contribute to building internal tools that help us accelerate iteration on AI features and workflows
• You’ll work in a TypeScript + Node.js + React stack, but we value strong engineering fundamentals over specific frameworks
