Company mission
Retool's mission is to create the future of internal software by making software development for engineers simpler and more accessible.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a content marketer who thrives in fast-paced environments, is obsessed with metrics that move up and to the right, and wants to help build one of the most transformative developer products on the planet
- Perhaps most importantly, we need someone who's genuinely passionate about AI as a force multiplier for content creation and distribution—someone who geeks out about the latest AI tools, stays obsessively up-to-date with emerging AI trends, and is excited to experiment with cutting-edge approaches that help our message break through the noise
- 5+ years of content marketing experience in tech, ideally in B2B software
- Killer writing, editing, and storytelling skills that can translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives
- Experience creating content for developer audiences
- Track record crafting messaging around emerging technologies, especially AI tools
- Strong SEO know-how and content distribution strategies
- Experience with social media engagement and community-building
- Data-driven approach with experience tracking and optimizing content performance
- Familiarity with project management tools to keep complex workflows on track
- Pulse on developer content trends and passion for creating content that cuts through the noise
- Personal enthusiasm for AI tools, with hands-on experience using them for content creation
- Self-starter mentality with a history of experimenting with new tech and finding creative applications
- Sharp eye for evaluating AI tools and identifying which ones actually deliver value
- Natural curiosity about how AI is transforming marketing, with a desire to be on the cutting edge
- Experience creating content for integrated campaigns where each piece fits into a larger narrative
What the job involves
- You'll be a key player at the heart of our customer journey, ensuring our content finds and resonates with developers
- You won't just create content—you'll craft compelling narratives that spark developer imaginations, solve real business problems, and drive our exponential growth
- Ideate, write, and advise on content that speaks to our technical audience while making complex concepts accessible and exciting (and not like marketing)
- Own critical parts of our content calendar and orchestrate production across cross-functional teams including Product Marketing, Developer Marketing, and Brand Design
- Edit and refine copy with meticulous attention to detail
- Partner with SEO specialists to ensure our content ranks well for high-value keywords on Google and appears in LLM search
- Create standout thought leadership that sets our brand apart in the development space
- Experiment with and implement AI tools that can 10x our content production while maintaining quality and authenticity
- Stay ahead of AI trends, test new tools, and share discoveries that could transform how we create and distribute content
- Create content with distribution in mind, tailoring formats and messaging to specific channels for maximum reach and engagement
- Craft content designed to be easily shareable and amplifiable across developer communities and industry networks
- Expertly transform core content into multiple formats (video scripts, social snippets, newsletter features, newsletter copy, event content) to maximize efficiency and reach
- Understand the nuances of different platforms and create content that feels native to each, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches
- You'll play a pivotal role in building a product that's already transforming how thousands of companies create software
- Your content will directly impact our growth trajectory as we continue our mission to make good software accessible to everyone
- In a world where content quality alone isn't enough, you'll be our reach maximizer—creating content that's designed from inception to travel far and wide
- You'll craft material that's inherently shareable, repurposable, and tailored to thrive on the platforms where our audience lives
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.
