Leads design for core platform systems, data connectivity, governance, and AI integrations at Retool. Requires 6+ years experience in systems-heavy product design, strong systems thinking, and collaboration with engineering on enterprise-scale features.
About the role
Responsibilities
- Lead design for core platform systems that support large, complex customers and long-term product scale
- Define and evolve product abstractions that make technically complex capabilities—including AI-powered workflows—intuitive, composable, and durable
- Design end-to-end experiences for connecting, configuring, and managing data sources, permissions, authentication, and infrastructure, with AI thoughtfully embedded where it adds real leverage
- Apply systems thinking to ensure AI experiences integrate cohesively across product surfaces, rather than living as isolated features
- Partner closely with product and engineering to shape roadmap direction, technical tradeoffs, and long-term platform and AI strategy
- Produce high-quality design artifacts—from early exploration through detailed execution—to bring platform and AI concepts into production
- Influence design quality beyond your immediate scope through critique, mentorship, and design reviews
- Contribute to and evolve Retool’s design system, ensuring it supports scalable patterns
- Help define design processes and standards that enable teams to build cohesive, high-quality platform and AI experiences at scale
Requirements
- A strong portfolio demonstrating senior or staff-level impact, with 6+ years of experience owning complex, systems-heavy product areas
- Proven ability to think in platforms and systems—designing primitives, frameworks, and abstractions that scale across teams and use cases
- Excitement about designing AI native products, developer-centric tools, enterprise software, or platforms that power other products
- Deep comfort working on technically complex problems and collaborating closely with engineering
- A track record of navigating ambiguity, identifying high-leverage problems, and driving work forward independently
- Strong product judgment and an ability to reason through tradeoffs involving usability, performance, security, extensibility, and trust
- Excellent communication skills, including clear writing and the ability to align diverse stakeholders around complex ideas
- A customer-obsessed mindset and curiosity about how builders think, learn, and work with increasingly intelligent systems
- A desire to rethink how software is built—and to design platforms where humans and AI build better things together
Compensation
- Base pay range: $187,300 – $318,800 per year
- Additional compensation in the form(s) of equity and/or commission are dependent on the position offered
- Retool provides a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
