About The Position

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. 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.

Requirements

• 5+ 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
