## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- Own end-to-end projects improving Retool’s core Apps product offering, making it easier for companies to build internal software that powers their businesses
- Collaborate with the team to build and improve the architectural foundations of how apps are built, loaded, and persisted within Retool
- Meet with internal counterparts to enhance customer thinking and partner closely with product on building out features
- Improve scalability and performance of Retool’s platform
- Debug and fix customer problems
- Help assess and recruit future engineers
