Senior Product Manager, Resources at Retool in San Francisco, CA

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 AppGen 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!

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
