Requirements
  • 6+ years experience in professional software development, ideally some of which you've spent in startups
  • Experience owning technically challenging and demanding cross-functional projects
  • Experience across the entire stack, from backend to frontend (and if you have a preference, we'd love to hear it!)
  • Experience with cloud based infrastructure like Azure, AWS or GCP
  • Ability to make technical decisions quickly, while looping in key stakeholders, too
  • A customer-first mindset and an interest in talking with customers to make sure what we're building meets their needs
  • Habit of introspection and understanding what's helped you be successful in the past
Responsibilities
  • Improve the UX of the Retool core editor, which involves plenty of interesting problems, both technical (e.g. "how do we implement our drag and drop system in a performant way?") and otherwise (e.g. "how do we handle the pushing of existing components when dragging new components on?")
  • Expand the types of applications that you can build into different parts of the development process
  • Debug customer problems + build features for them (e.g. "the Google Sheets integration doesn't support adding rows", and "what's the best way to support that? Via cell ranges, or via a lightweight, home-grown ORM?")
  • Help assess and recruit future engineers
  • Work on increasing the scalability of Retool's platform (e.g. frontend application performance, reducing query latencies)
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience in JavaScript / TypeScript
  • Experience with PostgreSQL
  • points if you have experience in mentoring other team members, and have previously worked closely with designers
