The Role
ABOUT RETOOL
Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling customer support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless other processes you might not have even thought of. 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 building the first enterprise AppGen platform: software that transforms natural language into production-ready code, integrates directly with business data, and meets the highest standards of security and governance. AI is redefining what it means to build software—and who gets to build it. The definition of “developer” now includes analysts, operators, and domain experts creating solutions directly. As the pool of builders widens, so does the complexity of what they need to build. The opportunity is enormous, but so is the challenge of enabling this larger community to build production-grade software safely. That means AI that understands real business data, enforces enterprise policies automatically, and empowers teams to create once and reuse everywhere with shared, trusted components.
Over 100 million hours of work has been automated by developers and domain experts using our platform, freeing them to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic initiatives that drive real business value. The people closest to knowing what needs to be built can now safely create custom solutions within enterprise guardrails. And that's a mission worth striving for.
Let's build the future together!
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
The Apps team owns our core product: the frontend app builder, used daily by thousands of builders to build mission-critical business applications. As the Product Manager for Apps, you’ll make it approachable and intuitive for both human builders and AI to build scalable, well-designed applications that meet enterprise standards. You’ll be responsible for a product that combines code, visual programming, and AI into a cohesive, one-of-a-kind app building experience.
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH:
You’ll work closely with the Apps engineering team and partner with design and product peers across the Platform and AI teams to drive Retool’s core app building experience forward.
You’ll also collaborate with GTM partners in Sales, Account Management, Product Marketing, DevRel, and more to bring new app building capabilities to market and bring the voice of the customer back into the development lifecycle.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU’LL:
- Partner with design, UXR, and engineering to make app building in Retool approachable and intuitive for today and tomorrow’s developers.
- Raise the ceiling on what apps are possible to build in Retool, and set the strategy to get us there.
- Treat Assist, our AI co-builder, as a first-class customer and build hiqh-quality frontend building blocks for it to work with.
- Drive foundational performance and reliability improvements that make it a no- brainer to build in Retool instead of from scratch.
- Balance customer feedback and feature requests with scalable, long-term solutions.
THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING:
- 4+ years of product management experience, ideally in platforms, developer tools, or other creator-focused products.
- Ability to think strategically about user experience, and work closely with engineering to ship high-quality products.
- Strong generalist skill set: can switch between product strategy, execution, and customer advocacy.
- Comfort with technical concepts — you don’t need to be a developer, but you should be able to speak their language (or learn quickly).
- Excellent communication and prioritization skills; you can synthesize customer input and internal priorities into clear roadmaps.
