AI Engineer, Developer

ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless processes you might never have thought of. But most companies don't have the resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old, clunky internal software, or worse, teams still stuck in manual and spreadsheet workflows.

AI has changed who gets to build software. The definition of "developer" now includes analysts, operators, and domain experts creating solutions directly—and the tools they reach for are multiplying by the week. That's both an opportunity and a challenge: as more people build with more AI tools, the risk of shipping ungoverned software into production grows just as fast. At Retool, we're building the platform that makes all of it safe to ship.

Build with any AI tool you want, then deploy into one place that connects to your real business data, enforces enterprise policies automatically, and lets teams create once and reuse everywhere with shared, trusted components. The cost of building software has collapsed. The cost of governing it hasn't—and that's the problem we solve. Developers and domain experts have already automated over 100 million hours of work on our platform, freeing them to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic work that drives real business value.

The people closest to the problem can now build the software to solve it, safely, and within enterprise guardrails. Let's build the future together.

The same way that Retool is transforming how our customers interact with software entirely, our internal Developer Experience (DevX) team is evolving how engineering works within Retool. We’re hiring AI DevX Engineers to help us push the boundaries of what Retool engineers can do with LLMs. If you’re passionate about building bespoke AI experiences for engineering teams—fast, reliable, and powerful—we want to talk.

As an AI DevX Engineer, you’ll work across product and infrastructure layers to ship custom, internal-facing AI software that's both powerful and reliable. This means building tools that are intelligent, fast, and deeply embedded into the entire lifecycle of software development. These tools need the context and access to give superpowers to engineers working on any task, from writing code to responding to incidents.

Since human attention is now the critical bottleneck for our engineering work, you'll also be building AI tools that are capable and trustworthy enough to autonomously drive toil management work like fixing brittle tests, cleaning up old code, and updating stale documentation. In short, you'll free our engineers — yourself included — to focus on real innovation.

• Build internal developer-facing AI tools and agents that are intelligent, fast, and deeply embedded into the software development lifecycle
• Create autonomous, resilient agents and evaluation frameworks to power an AI-driven software factory
• Drive context engineering that keeps AI-legible code, skills, and documentation reliable as the codebase moves fast beneath it
• Improve the performance, observability, and safety of the model architecture behind our internal AI tools
• Define and champion the workflows that maximize AI efficiency and accuracy across the organization
• Design processes for AI to evaluate and improve the state of code quality, test coverage, documentation freshness, and other toil
• Shape a model of AI-driven work where agents begin to own initiatives, proactively asking engineers for direction when greater judgment is required

You’ll join a team of engineers working across the broad surface of developer experience and release engineering. You’ll also partner with leaders and AI power users across the organization, incorporating their feedback into the development process and training them on workflows that will make them effective. This is a high impact role where you’ll be a part of defining what an AI-native development environment looks like, and building the infrastructure,…
