Developer Advocate

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

Everyone building with Retool is a developer we can help! Our growing developer relations team strives to inspire and enhance the entire developer journey. Situated under Retool’s marketing department, our efforts span all aspects of developer advocacy, engineering, education, and experience. We think Retool is rad and want to show the world just how.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a technologist. You understand how hardware and software and systems work together to solve (& inspire) all kinds of very human problems. You want everyone to be more capable and enabled to meaningfully use technology.

Developer experience is paramount. You know that a great product is only a piece of the puzzle, and that what makes a truly great developer-focused company is how you talk to, engage with, and support developers (often behind the scenes). You’ve found your calling at the intersection of engineering, community, and developer enablement.

You’re ready to use your unique talents in programming, writing, teaching, and advocacy to enable developers and builders to dream bigger and accomplish more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As part of a small developer relations team reporting to the Head of Developer Relations, you will find your personal mix of focused project work, perennial go-to activities, and handle a startling variety of work that will predictably interrupt your day-to-day. While there are many jobs to be done and even more to discover, our team scales and chooses our work with occupational happiness in mind.

• Build with Retool! We can’t truly engage developers unless we’re engaged too. You’ll build apps and workflows for personal exploration, internal tools, use case-driven tutorials, and to integrate tools & services with Retool.
• Collaborate with our content, support, and product marketing teams on programs, campaigns, and projects that enhance our developer community.
• Speak at and participate in select conferences and events to educate the developer market and build lasting relationships with third party services and tools that would work well with Retool.
• Engage with developers in our forums, on social media, YouTube, Slack, Discord, and anywhere else online developers are using or would benefit from using Retool.
• Help us produce delightfully effective video content for developers.
• Channel the voice of the Retool developer community and champion their feedback and concerns back to stakeholders in product and marketing.
• Keep a close pulse on trends in software—from internal tools to languages, frameworks and databases— and be ready to form Retool’s position and perspective.

THE SKILLS YOU'LL BRING:

• 2+ years in a programming-adjacent function at a fast-growing company, preferably in developer relations.
• You and your particular mix of skills, history, and technical preferences. How will you Retool?
• Deep empathy for developers and a passion for helping them move their projects and careers forward.
• Creative communication skills: you’ll be a face of Retool to developers and will make a huge impact on how developers perceive the Retool brand.
