Product Manager, Automation

Retool • San Francisco, CA

6h

About The Position

We’re looking for a Product Manager to help define and scale the next generation of automation at Retool. You’ll lead the evolution of Retool’s automation capabilities—including workflows, integrations, and AI-driven agents—expanding our platform beyond internal apps into end-to-end process orchestration.
You’ll operate in a highly ambiguous, fast-moving space: forming a strong point of view on where automation and AI are heading, identifying the highest-leverage product bets, and driving them from early concept through customer adoption. This role sits at the intersection of platform, developer experience, and applied AI—and will help shape automation as a core pillar of Retool’s product strategy. You’ll operate at the frontier of applied AI and workflow orchestration: deciding when AI should act autonomously, where humans stay in the loop, and how teams debug, trust, and scale automated systems. The problems are open-ended, the surface area is large, and the impact is foundational to Retool’s platform strategy.
You’ll join Retool’s Product team, collaborating closely with engineers, designers, and go-to-market leaders building the future of internal software. The team is senior, fast-moving, and deeply technical, with experience across high-growth startups and large-scale platforms.
The Automation team is responsible for extending Retool beyond internal applications into workflow orchestration and AI agents—powering everything from backend operations to autonomous system coordination.

Requirements

• 6+ years of product management experience, ideally with complex workflows, platforms, or developer-facing products
• A point of view on AI-first automation and how intelligent systems should behave in production environments
• Experience shipping complex, multi-step systems that integrate across services, and tools
• Comfort operating at a low level of abstraction with engineers on execution models, state management, and system reliability
• Strong synthesis skills—you can distill noisy customer signals and technical constraints into a clear strategy
• Bias toward action: you balance long-term vision with pragmatic execution over 6–12 month horizons
• A collaborative, low-ego work style with the ability to influence cross-functional partners and executives
