WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Retool’s Built-In Resources—like Database, Storage, Email, AI, and more—give builders instant access to everything they need to build full applications, workflows, and agents, without waiting on setup or integration. That means users can go from idea to working product in just minutes.
You’ll be the architect behind Retool’s core building blocks, turning complex infrastructure into instant, no-setup magic for builders. You’ll own things like strategy, roadmap, product evolution, and also explore potential monetization paths (such as usage-based overages) as part of the longer-term strategy.
This role sits at the intersection of platform strategy and user experience. You’ll decide how each built-in—whether Database, Storage, or AI—works on its own, when it should connect tightly with other resources, and how all of them fit together to make the Retool platform seamless and powerful for builders.
WHO YOU'll WORK WITH:
You’ll work closely with a dedicated engineering pod within the Product Platform team and collaborate across the entire product surface, since built-ins touch almost every part of Retool. You’ll also partner with design and product marketing to shape user experience and positioning, and with leadership to align built-ins to Retool’s broader platform and App Engine strategy.
We’re a small, high-impact team that thrives at the intersection of infrastructure and usability. You’ll be a core part of shaping how new builders experience Retool out of the box, in addition to supporting experienced users building more powerful and complex internal tools.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:
- Own strategy, roadmap, and execution for Retool’s Built-In Resources
- Define how built-ins should work alongside integrated resources, including where deeper integration is valuable
- Evolve each built-in product (e.g. storage, database, email, AI) to better meet user needs impacting adoption and usage
- Balance customer feedback and feature requests with scalable, long-term solutions
- Partner with engineering to deliver reliable, easy-to-use built-ins across both cloud and on-prem deployments
- Explore opportunities for pricing, packaging, and monetization of built-ins
- Collaborate broadly across product, design, and GTM teams to ensure built-ins drive value throughout the platform
THE SKILLSET YOU'll BRING:
- 4+ years of product management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or platform products
- Experience working on technical products (databases, APIs, developer tools, or similar) with user-facing surfaces
- Ability to think strategically about system design and user experience, and work closely with engineering to ship high-quality products
- Strong generalist skill set: can switch between product strategy, execution, and customer advocacy
- Excellent communication and prioritization skills; you can synthesize customer input and internal priorities into clear roadmaps
