About the role

Your work will span the stack, from full-stack web development to data pipelines and product infrastructure.
What keeps their security teams up at night?
How do we make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard?

But building fast and building safely are two very different things.
As development democratizes and more people across an organization create apps, agents, and workflows, the risk surface expands dramatically.
The question enterprises are asking isn't "can we build it?" but rather "can we trust what's been built?" On the Governance team, we're solving this problem by building the foundational layer that sits between builders and data.
The Governance team owns the systems that make Retool secure, organized, and trustworthy at scale, from the data layer all the way up to how teams discover and manage their work.
Build the new organizational primitive for Retool.
Projects group apps, agents, and workflows into a shared space with their own membership and role-based permissions.
You'd design the data model, build the permissions layer, and create the UI that gives teams a clear home base, replacing a flat, unstructured console with something that scales to hundreds of teams.
Redesign how administrators onboard and manage Retool.
Build the landing page experience, global search, and the guided setup flow that gets enterprises from sign-up to first production app faster.
Build the features that change Retool from something that admins manage to a system that is self managing and self healing, with proper admin oversight and controls.

Enforce organization-wide policies, like requiring all Spaces to use a specific SSO provider or AI configuration, and proactively identify misconfigurations or deviations from compliance requirements.
You'll work alongside engineers, product managers, and designers who care deeply about making enterprise governance feel effortless rather than burdensome.
When we're in the office, we enjoy eating lunch together, and we've been known for our lively game nights.
If you want your work to be foundational, the kind of engineering that unlocks everything else, this is the team.

Surface security insights, flag under-authenticated resources, and create the admin dashboard that makes platform health visible at a glance.
