About the role
What will you do at Retool?
WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU
Retool is becoming the platform enterprises use to build and run not only apps
and automations, but AI agents that can reason, act, and operate against real
business systems. Helping teams create this software is only half the problem.
Enterprises also need a dependable way to deploy, manage, observe, secure, and
scale it across complex environments.
We’re looking for a Product Manager to define that platform.
You’ll focus on the infrastructure and operational capabilities that let
enterprises run Retool confidently at scale. This includes deployment
infrastructure, observability, admin tooling, access controls, audit logging,
and programmatic management through APIs, infrastructure as code, and MCP.
AI agents introduce a new class of platform problems. Their workloads can be
longer-running, more dynamic, and less predictable than conventional
applications. They also create new requirements around isolation, reliability,
resource consumption, failure recovery, and administrative control. You’ll help
determine how Retool’s platform should evolve to meet those requirements.
This is a platform product role, not a forward-deployed role. You’ll work
closely with sophisticated customers to understand their environments, then turn
recurring needs into durable capabilities that work across Retool’s customer
base. You’ll partner directly with engineering on technical and architectural
tradeoffs and lead focused projects from discovery through launch and adoption.
You’ll join a small, experienced team that values clear thinking, speed, and
direct communication, at a company where product is a core driver of how the
business grows.
IN THIS ROLE
Your goal is to make Retool the easiest platform for enterprises to deploy,
operate, and scale AI-powered software and agents securely and reliably.
You’ll work across problems like:
* What deployment platform should Retool provide as AI-generated apps and
agents move from prototypes to business-critical production workloads?
* How should Retool run, isolate, scale, and recover agentic workloads while
meeting enterprise requirements for reliability, security, and cost?
* What observability and controls do platform teams need to understand health,
failures, resource consumption, and cost across apps, workflows, and agents?
* How can AI help platform teams diagnose issues, manage capacity, and operate
Retool more effectively at scale?
* What should the API, infrastructure-as-code, and MCP surfaces look like for
organizations managing Retool across complex environments?
Day to day, you’ll:
* Set the strategy and roadmap for your area, grounding priorities in customer
evidence, technical constraints, and business impact.
* Lead projects from discovery through launch, adoption, and iteration.
* Work directly with engineering on infrastructure, deployment, observability,
data connectivity, and access-control systems.
* Make clear product and architectural tradeoffs without waiting for broad
consensus.
* Work with platform engineering, infrastructure, and security leaders at
enterprise customers to understand how Retool fits into their environments.
* Partner with Sales and Customer Success while maintaining a strong point of
view on which customer needs should become scalable platform capabilities.
* Define success through outcomes such as deployment time, reliability,
operational burden, and enterprise adoption.
THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING
* 4+ years of product management experience building infrastructure,
developer-platform, or technically complex enterprise software.
* Experience with cloud infrastructure and deployment products. You can reason
about areas such as compute, networking, orchestration, multi-tenancy,
observability, reliability, and self-hosted environments.
* The technical depth to participate credibly in architecture discussions and
evaluate tradeoffs with senior engineers.
* A track record of turning ambiguous, cross-cutting problems into clear
product direction and shipped outcomes.
* Strong product judgment. You form opinions, make decisions, and
course-correct as you learn.
* Experience working directly with technical enterprise customers and
translating their constraints into product priorities.
* The ability to distinguish recurring platform needs from one-off customer
requests.
* Strong ownership and the willingness to stay close to the implementation, not
just the roadmap.
* Hands-on curiosity about AI. You have built or experimented with modern AI
tools and understand how agents, LLMs, and autonomous workflows differ from
conventional applications.
Prior AI product-management experience is helpful, but not required. We’re
equally interested in experienced infrastructure and developer-platform PMs who
want to apply that depth to the emerging problems created by enterprise AI.
