Software Engineer, Automations in San Francisco, California at Retool

We're looking for a Software Engineer to help build the next generation of automation at Retool. You'll work on the systems powering Retool Workflows and Agents, helping customers automate business processes, orchestrate complex workflows, and build AI-powered applications that integrate across their technology stack.

This is a highly technical, product-minded engineering role. You'll partner closely with product and design to shape an emerging area of the platform, translating ambiguous problems into scalable systems and intuitive developer experiences. From orchestration engines and execution infrastructure to AI integrations and developer tooling, you'll help define how automation is built at Retool.

You'll own projects end-to-end—from technical design through implementation, launch, and iteration—while helping establish the architecture that will support this product area as it scales.

You'll join the Automations team, partnering closely with Product, Design, and GTM to build one of Retool's fastest-growing product areas. The team is focused on extending Retool beyond internal applications into backend automation and AI agents, enabling customers to orchestrate mission-critical workflows across their businesses.

We're a collaborative team that enjoys solving difficult technical problems, shipping quickly, and working directly with customers to understand how they're building. You'll have significant ownership and influence over both the technical direction of the platform and the customer experience.
