Requirements
  • 2+ years in a programming-adjacent function at a fast-growing company, preferably in developer relations.
  • Deep empathy for developers and a passion for helping them move their projects and careers forward.
  • Creative communication skills: you’ll be a face of Retool to developers and will make a huge impact on how developers perceive the Retool brand.
Responsibilities
  • Build with Retool! We can’t truly engage developers unless we’re engaged too. You’ll build apps and workflows for personal exploration, internal tools, use case-driven tutorials, and to integrate tools & services with Retool.
  • Collaborate with our content, support, and product marketing teams on programs, campaigns, and projects that enhance our developer community.
  • Speak at and participate in select conferences and events to educate the developer market and build lasting relationships with third party services and tools that would work well with Retool.
  • Engage with developers in our forums, on social media, YouTube, Slack, Discord, and anywhere else online developers are using or would benefit from using Retool.
  • Help us produce delightfully effective video content for developers.
  • Channel the voice of the Retool developer community and champion their feedback and concerns back to stakeholders in product and marketing.
  • Keep a close pulse on trends in software—from internal tools to languages, frameworks and databases—and be ready to form Retool’s position and perspective.

Retool simplifies the creation of internal tools for businesses, focusing on developers, IT teams, and technology leaders. Its platform allows users to build custom applications by connecting to various databases and APIs, such as Postgres and Google Sheets. Users can create tools using a drag-and-drop interface, which reduces the need for extensive coding and makes it accessible to those with limited programming skills. Retool handles data fetching and user interface concerns, allowing developers to concentrate on customization. The company operates on a subscription model, offering features like on-premises installation and collaborative app editing. Retool addresses the need for efficient internal tools, helping businesses streamline operations and improve productivity.
