## 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

- Design and build the systems powering Retool Workflows and Agents
- Build scalable systems that enable customers to orchestrate complex workflows, automate business processes, and leverage AI throughout their applications
- Partner closely with product and design to turn ambiguous product ideas into thoughtful technical solutions
- Own projects end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to rollout, monitoring, and iteration
- Work across the stack to improve the developer experience, platform reliability, and execution performance of automation workloads
- Collaborate directly with customers to understand their automation challenges and build solutions that solve real-world problems
