Senior Sales Engineer, Enterprise

ABOUT RETOOL Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling customer support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless other processes you might not have even thought of. But most companies don't have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows.

At Retool, we’re building the first enterprise App Gen platform: software that transforms natural language into production-ready code, integrates directly with business data, and meets the highest standards of security and governance. AI is redefining what it means to build software—and who gets to build it. The definition of “developer” now includes analysts, operators, and domain experts creating solutions directly.

As the pool of builders widens, so does the complexity of what they need to build. The opportunity is enormous, but so is the challenge of enabling this larger community to build production-grade software safely. That means AI that understands real business data, enforces enterprise policies automatically, and empowers teams to create once and reuse everywhere with shared, trusted components.

Over 100 million hours of work has been automated by developers and domain experts using our platform, freeing them to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic initiatives that drive real business value. The people closest to knowing what needs to be built can now safely create custom solutions within enterprise guardrails. And that's a mission worth striving for. Let’s build the future together!

Our Sales Engineering team is critical to Retool. Sales Engineers drive revenue by closely partnering with potential customers and ensuring their success with Retool. Much of the Retool sales process is technical, helping potential customers understand how to build apps and workflows with Retool, deploy on their infrastructure, and connect to critical resources. Building successful relationships with our customers is a key component of this role and you’ll leverage your technical background to dive in.

Our revenue and business goals this year are aggressive, and we need the right team to help turn prospects into happy Retool customers and expand our footprint in existing accounts.

You’ll join our team of Enterprise Sales Engineers and partner closely with our Enterprise Account Executives in a (2AE:1SE) ratio. You’ll also work cross-functionally with the rest of the go-to-market team as well as marketing, engineering, and product.
