Technical Recruiter

Retool • San Francisco, CA

2d

About The Position

We’ve built a powerhouse foundation that’s brought Retool to thousands of
customers and we’re just getting started. The next chapter is bigger. Faster.
More ambitious. The next phase is about scaling EPD with intention: hiring
exceptional engineers who ship fast and think in systems, product leaders who
turn ambiguity into strategy, and designers who raise the bar on craft and
usability.

We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to help us scale our Engineering,
Product, and Design org. You won’t just fill roles—you’ll shape how we build
these teams. From partnering closely with EPD leadership on headcount strategy
to refining how we assess technical and product talent, you’ll influence both
who we hire and how we hire.
If you’re excited about building the kind of EPD org that sets the pace (not
follows it), let’s talk.

WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU
In this role, you’ll be on the front lines of hiring high-impact technical
talent across Engineering, Product and Design roles. As Retool continues to grow
and power mission-critical tools for some of the world’s best teams, you’ll play
a key role in shaping the people who build the tools that drive our customers’
success.

You’ll partner closely with EPD leaders to lead full-cycle recruiting, from
sourcing and pipeline strategy through closing candidates. You’ll develop a deep
understanding of Retool’s product, customers, and vision, and translate that
into a compelling story for candidates. Along the way, you’ll bring best
practices to EPD hiring, iterate on what’s working, and use data and metrics to
guide decisions and surface risks early.

Beyond managing pipelines, you’ll act as a trusted thought partner to hiring
managers at varying stages of growth. You’ll help them define roles, calibrate
talent, and build teams that can scale effectively—ultimately ensuring the sales
organization has the people it needs to execute on Retool’s ambitious goals.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH:
The Talent team at Retool is small, collaborative, and highly impactful.
Recruiting has long been a team sport here, and we’re proud of the
recruiting-forward culture we’ve built across the company. You’ll partner
closely with recruiters, coordinators, and hiring teams to set goals, deliver a
stellar candidate experience, and support ambitious hiring plans.

We’re a diverse bunch with a variety of backgrounds: some of us come from
outside tech, others from long careers in it.  We’re a slightly sarcastic,
dedicated, and hard-working group, who values curiosity, candor, and kindness
(matcha and GIFs included). We’re excited to grow our team with people who want
to help shape both our culture and how we work.
