This is the operational software for refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and providing customer support. But most companies don’t have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows. </p><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"> At Retool, we’re on a mission to bring good software to everyone. We’re building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. We believe that the future of software development lies in abstracting away the tedious and repetitive tasks developers waste time on, while creating reusable components that act as a force multiplier for future developers and projects. The result is not just productivity, but good software by default. And that’s a mission worth striving for. </p><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"> Today, our customers span from small startups building their first operational tools to Fortune 500 companies building mission-critical apps for thousands of users across their business.

Instead of designing just one product, we’re effectively designing unique software products for thousands of companies across many different verticals. </p><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"> This also presents a unique design challenge. Because it’s possible to build nearly anything in Retool, we don’t have absolute control over how our users experience the product. We’re constantly seeking just the right balance between convention and configuration, between technical expressiveness and conceptual simplicity. </p><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"><strong> ABOUT THE ROLE </strong></p><p style="padding: 0; margin: 15px 0 15px 0"> Our website is critical to Retool’s success: it’s the first impression of Retool for millions of visitors, and a trusted companion for customers as they learn the product.
