Job description
ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless processes you might never have thought of. But most companies don't have the resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old, clunky internal software, or worse, teams still stuck in manual and spreadsheet workflows.

AI has changed who gets to build software. The definition of "developer" now includes analysts, operators, and domain experts creating solutions directly—and the tools they reach for are multiplying by the week. That's both an opportunity and a challenge: as more people build with more AI tools, the risk of shipping ungoverned software into production grows just as fast.

At Retool, we're building the platform that makes all of it safe to ship. Build with any AI tool you want, then deploy into one place that connects to your real business data, enforces enterprise policies automatically, and lets teams create once and reuse everywhere with shared, trusted components. The cost of building software has collapsed. The cost of governing it hasn't—and that's the problem we solve.

Developers and domain experts have already automated over 100 million hours of work on our platform, freeing them to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic work that drives real business value. The people closest to the problem can now build the software to solve it, safely, and within enterprise guardrails.

Let's build the future together.
WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU: 
In the last year, we’ve grown our customer base over 5x and continued to enhance our product. As a result, we have more questions, feedback, and tickets coming in than ever before from developers using Retool. As we continue to grow, we’re adding more customer-centric support engineers to help our customers build the systems and tools they need to run their business.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH
You’ll work with other support engineers and software engineers to diagnose, troubleshoot, and solve customer problems. You’ll also help train new coworkers on supporting our users. Support is a small team today, but rapidly expanding to match our customer growth.

You'll be joining a broader team of Retools who are passionate about serving our customers, enjoy collaborating to build an incredibly innovative product, and bring energy and curiosity to everything they do. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!

  • Explore our codebase, logs, and test instances to debug difficult problems
  • Troubleshoot new bugs and formalize bug reports
  • Represent customers internally and advocate for key issues
  • Contribute to our documentation 
  • Help users debug issues with many different database types and APIs
  • Analyze and improve our support operations--there's always new Retool apps to build!
  • Help us track support metrics and share findings you identify

THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING: 
  • 2-4 years of experience working in technical and customer-facing roles
  • Intermediate understanding of JavaScript and web development
  • Experience supporting a SQL or NoSQL database management system 
  • Ability to communicate effectively through writing and in person 
  • Ability to think on your feet and come up with creative solutions to non-obvious problems
  • Ability to empathize with customer challenges 
  • Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues in high-availability, production web environments
  • Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, latency bottlenecks, and error handling in web services
  • Ability to diagnose infrastructure-related incidents affecting SaaS uptime, including degraded service performance and regional outages
