Job Summary

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 dont 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 directlyand the tools they reach for are multiplying by the week. Thats 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 were 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 hasntand thats 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.

Lets build the future together.

WHY WERE LOOKING FOR YOU

AI is making it possible for anyone to build software in minutes. But building quick solutions to individual problems is very different from multiple teams building projects to solve a wide range of use cases across the entire organization. The challenge that enterprises are facing today is not how do we build it but how can we build this together at scale

On the Enterprise Expansion team youll build and own systems and solutions that enable customers to organize manage and secure Retool at scale. Our team owns the full customer journey from administrator setup and onboarding to how teams discover and manage their work to scaling spaces and instances for thousands of employees across the organization.

Your work will span the entire technical stack from full-stack web development to data pipelines and product infrastructure. Youll focus on the problems that matter most to customers: What slows them down What keeps their security teams up at night How do we make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard This team is responsible for making Retool easily configurable and deeply trusted by our largest customers.

PROJECTS YOU MIGHT WORK ON

Hub & Admin Setup: Redesign how administrators onboard and manage Retool. Build the landing page experience global search and the guided setup flow that gets enterprises from sign-up to first production app faster. Surface security insights flag under-authenticated resources and create the admin dashboard that makes platform health visible at a glance. Build the features that change Retool from something that admins manage to a system that is self managing and self healing with proper admin oversight and controls.
Projects: Build the new organizational primitive for Retool. Projects group apps agents and workflows into a shared space with their own membership and role-based permissions. Youll design the data model build the permissions layer and create the UI that gives teams a clear home base replacing a flat unstructured console with something that scales to hundreds of teams.
AI Cost Visibility & Controls: Build the solutions that give enterprises the ability to define who can use AI how much and what happens when a limit is approached or reached moving Retool from passive visibility to active governance of AI spend. Youll design and build the telemetry pipelines backend systems and user experience that gives visibility and controls for the AI usage and spend of our largest customers.
Spaces & Instance Management: Build the controls that let enterprises govern multiple Retool Spaces and instances from a single pane of glass. Enforce organization-wide policies like requiring all Spaces to use a specific SSO provider or AI configuration and proactively identify misconfigurations or deviations from compliance requirements.
