Support Engineer, Night Shift at Retool – San Francisco, California

In the last year, we’ve grown our customer base over 5x and continued to enhance our product. As a result, we have more questions, feedback, and tickets coming in than ever before from developers using Retool. As we continue to grow, we’re adding more customer-centric support engineers to help our customers build the systems and tools they need to run their business.

You’ll work with other support engineers and software engineers to diagnose, troubleshoot, and solve customer problems. You’ll also help train new coworkers on supporting our users. Support is a small team today, but rapidly expanding to match our customer growth.

You’ll be joining a broader team of Retools who are passionate about serving our customers, enjoy collaborating to build an incredibly innovative product, and partake in some occasional-but-well-intentioned sarcasm. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

As a Support Engineer at Retool, you’ll communicate with developers of all sizes to help unblock technical issues. You’ll help answer their more difficult Retool development questions, troubleshoot connecting to many kinds of databases or APIs, and brainstorm app structure and best practices. Often, this will mean researching new topics and reporting back to the customer on the best approach to achieve their goals.

Retool is a broad technical product, so ideally, you are a generalist engineer and enjoy learning new technologies. Our platform supports over 30 integrations, so you’ll constantly encounter novel situations. On a typical day, you might help someone debug a database connection, write examples of JavaScript code for specific customer use cases, troubleshoot data structures, SQL queries, and API authentication—often live or on an impromptu screen-share.
