ABOUT RETOOL: 

At Retool, we’re changing the way software is built. We’ve developed the fastest way to build internal tools, saving companies time, resources, and engineering bandwidth.

• Work with the team to set and prioritize our roadmap to maximize customer impact
• Define and automate developer process/workflow
• Support our systems in production
• Develop new data solutions

• Experience with inner workings of Linux, containers (Docker, containerd), and container orchestration technologies (e.g. docker-compose, Kubernetes)
• A love of building productive, collaborative relationships, both within an engineering org and across the broader company
• You're excited by the ambiguity and high-ownership culture of early-stage startups
• You are pragmatic, solution-oriented, and scrappy
• You enjoy working collaboratively with a broad range of job functions and roles
• Experience with our tech stack: Node, Postgres, Docker, Kubernetes
• Experience scaling relational databases (Postgres preferred)
