- You'll also take on ownership of our data stack to ensure that your teammates are able to access the data they need to make decisions and technical teams are able to quickly implement events.
- We’ve already built out a solid stack on top of Kafka, Databricks, DBT, and of course, Retool, but we need your help to ensure it scales with the company as our user base grows
- You’ll work with stakeholders across the business, including data scientists, analytics engineers, finance, marketing, engineering, product, operations, and support.

- Implement monitoring and observability to guarantee data quality and consistency
- Articulate and implement best practices around ingestion frameworks and data pipeline development
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.
Retool was founded in 2017, and the company is now valued at over $1 billion. 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. Retool was awarded $45 million in Series C in 2022, which it is using to expand its workforce, tweak its platform, and develop new products.
