About Retool

Build, deploy, and manage internal tools with Retool's unified engine. Connect to any database, API, or LLM. Leverage AI throughout your business. Backed by Sequoia and Y Combinator.

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

  • Work across the product and infrastructure boundary, shaping agent behavior while understanding what it costs at runtime, and serve as the infrastructure team's technical counterpart on agent workloads
  • Detect, diagnose, and resolve non-deterministic failures such as hallucinations, partial correctness, instruction drift, or context sensitivity, working from transcripts and traces rather than logs alone
  • Partner closely with product and infrastructure teams on how agent workloads are provisioned, isolated, and rolled out, including for self-hosted customers, and set the pattern for how we ship agentic products safely
  • Accountable for agent behavior, not just system correctness
  • Designing, Building, and Deploying agentic products in both cloud and self-hosted environments
  • Grounded in evaluation, iteration, and regression prevention under non-determinism

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...
