ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software: Gartner estimates that up to 50% of all code is written for internal use. 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.

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.

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. Interested in joining us? Let us know!

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU:

Our sales engineering team is critical to Retool. Sales engineers drive revenue by partnering closely with potential customers and ensuring they’re successful with Retool.

A large portion of the Retool sales process is technical, ensuring potential customers understand how to build internal apps with Retool and deploy on their infrastructure. Building successful relationships with our customers (most of whom are engineers) is a key component of this role and you’ll leverage your engineering background to dive in.

Our revenue and business goals this year are aggressive, and we need the right team help turn prospects into happy Retool customers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Your workday will never be boring. You’ll dive deep with prospects to understand their technical environment and their business goals. You'll create and deliver demos, build apps within Retool with prospects, answer technical questions, and manage the technical close throughout the sales cycle.

You’ll partner with our sales leads as needed, particularly on enterprise deals, and we’ll look to you help build new processes and programs to help our sales team meet and exceed quota.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH:

You’ll join our team of sales engineers (who are engineers themselves!), account executives, and our SDR team. You’ll dive into sales forecasting meetings, partner with our sales leads to close deals, and work cross-functionally with the rest of the go-to-market team.

You’ll be joining a broader team of Retools who are passionate about serving our customers, enjoy collaborating to build an incredibly innovative product, and partake in some occasional but well-intentioned sarcasm. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:

Talk with potential customers, understand their problems, and assess whether or not Retool is a good fit
Identify relevant stakeholders, budgets, timelines, etc. and manage the entire sales process
Demo the Retool product, answer questions about Retool, ultimately convincing them Retool is the correct solution
Create technical content to demonstrate best practices (e.g. sample apps, documentation, videos, etc.)
Suss out the blockers for a customer in adopting Retool, and overcome them
Dive into our codebase to understand technical limitations in Retool that need solving via code (e.g. a bug, a missing feature, etc.) to close a deal
Serve as the primary, ongoing technical point of contact for our users
Answer technical questions from our customers as they come up
Schedule and attend weekly check-ins with our largest customers

THE SKILLSET YOU'll BRING:

An enthusiastic, strong, technical generalist
A background in computer science or a related field
Technical experience in a professional environment, ideally a startup
Strong knowledge of SQL, various no-SQL databases, APIs, etc.
Comfort exploring Retool’s codebase (React / Node)
