Join to apply for the Product Designer role at Retool
About Retool
Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software: Gartner estimates that up to 50% of all code is written for internal use. This software supports refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and customer support. Many companies lack the resources to invest properly in these tools, resulting in outdated or inefficient internal software.
At Retool, our mission is to democratize good software. We are building a development platform that combines traditional software development benefits with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, enabling faster creation of internal tools. We aim to abstract repetitive tasks and create reusable components, enhancing productivity and software quality.
Our customers range from startups to Fortune 500 companies, building mission-critical apps for thousands of users. Interested in joining us? Let us know!
