ABOUT THE TEAM: 

Tens of thousands of customers rely on us to run their businesses. The Retool Product team helps build the products that make our customers successful with Retool and set us up to achieve our long-term mission. 

 

 

As a PM you’ll help to set product vision and roadmap, collaborate with design and engineering teams to build the right product, and work with go-to-market teams to get our products into the hands of our customers. You’ll work with your engineering and design counterparts to effectively communicate the direction and status of your product area to the rest of the organization. At Retool, product managers are highly flexible, technically-minded, and will adjust to whatever is needed to deliver great products to our customers.

Our Connect team is responsible for the data connection layer between what users already know—their business—and the Retool product. Once a Retool customer connects to a resource, they can use that data to build apps, set up workflows, and share logic.As the product leader of the Connect team, you’ll be responsible for helping us continue to build a platform that can scale rapidly to more integration partners to make it easy for users to access their data. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for the product experience for querying resources across connection types from SQL to Google Sheets to gRPC and beyond. Since so much of the magic of Retool is around how quickly you can work with and transform your data, having an exceptional query experience is a top priority for creating happy customers.
