About The Position

Retool started as a way to address obstacles with internal tools and has grown into a company that solves internal tooling for thousands of companies, from one-person startups to S&P 500 enterprises. We've done a lot with a little-we have a rapidly growing engineering team and a laundry list of features and foundational infrastructure pieces we want to tackle. As Retool enters a new phase of increased growth, we're tackling challenges that come with scaling both a fast-evolving product and a rapidly expanding global infrastructure. That's where you come in. As a memeber of the Core Infrastructure team, you'll design, build, and automate the systems that make Retool reliable, secure, and lightning fast at scale. You'll own the backbone of our platform-everything from compute and storage to CI/CD, reliability and performance. This is a high-leverage role: your work will directly shape how every engineer at Retool builds, ships, and scales. Whether you're drawn to solving broad platform challenges or going deep into performance optimization, you'll find both scope and ownership here. You'll partner closely with engineering, product, design, and GTM teams to make sure Retool runs seamlessly for customers big and small-and scales well beyond where we are today.

Requirements

• 4+ years of related professional experience working with containerization (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform) and observability (e.g. Datadog, Stackdriver, Wavefront, Grafana) stacks
• A strong understanding of system availability, resiliency, and recoverability
• A track record of building productive, collaborative relationships, both within an engineering org and across the broader company
• Experience scaling relational databases (Postgres preferred) and good knowledge of cloud, on-prem, traffic routing, service architecture in multi-region setup
• Strong organizational skills with high attention-to-detail and able to work independently with minimal supervision
• Ability to thrive in a high-energy, high-growth, fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. Willing to learn new skills and implement new technologies

Responsibilities

• Scale Retool's core cloud platform for high availability and performance globally
• Work collaboratively with the rest of the engineering team to deliver infrastructure for core and emerging products
• Evolve our backend architecture/infrastructure for both cloud and on-premise deployments
