Responsibilities
Improve the UX of the Retool core editor, which involves plenty of interesting problems, both technical (e.g. "how do we implement our drag and drop system in a performant way?") and otherwise (e.g. "how do we handle the pushing of existing components when dragging new components on?")
Expand the types of applications that you can build into different parts of the development process
Debug customer problems + build features for them (e.g. "the Google Sheets integration doesn't support adding rows", and "what's the best way to support that? Via cell ranges, or via a lightweight, home-grown ORM?")
Help assess and recruit future engineers
Work on increasing the scalability of Retool’s platform (e.g. frontend application performance, reducing query latencies)
