Retool Business Intelligence Interview Questions

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 is the operational software for refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and providing customer support. But most companies don't have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows. At Retool, we're on a mission to bring good software to everyone. We're building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. We believe that the future of software development lies in abstracting away the tedious and repetitive tasks developers waste time on, while creating reusable components that act as a force multiplier for future developers and projects. The result is not just productivity, but good software by default. And that's a mission worth striving for. Today, our customers span from small startups building their first operational tools to Fortune 500 companies building mission-critical apps for thousands of users across their business. Interested in joining us? Let us know! WHAT YOU'LL DO Tens of thousands of customers rely on Retool to run their businesses, and our Product team helps shape the vision, create the roadmap, and build the products that make our customers successful. Your days will include collaborating with design and engineering counterparts to build the right thing at the right time, working closely with go-to-market teams to get our products into the hands of our customers, and working with company leadership to communicate the direction and vision for your product area to the rest of the organization. At Retool, Product Managers are highly flexible, technically-minded, and known for their readiness to pivot or tailor their efforts when necessary to deliver great products to our customers. As a PM on the UI Experience team, you'll drive direction for the heart of the Retool product: the interface builder. Retool's UI Builder aims to make it easy to create beautiful apps quickly, but also let sophisticated developers build deeply complex interfaces. It should let developers realize customized and brand-aligned designs, but also guide builders towards creating clean, usable apps by default.Finding this balance requires a great deal of product discipline, customer insight, and taste. This is where you'll come in: as the PM for the UI Experience team, you'll help create decision-making frameworks for the team, build the case to invest in certain UI capabilities and not others, and chart the long-term strategy for the core Retool product. For example, today we're thinking about: <ul><li>What should our strategy be for the types of UI components we provide out-of-the-box? Where should we expect builders to create their own custom components?</li><li>How should layout work when building Retool UI's? How should we support responsive UI development?</li><li>How can we let organizations create brand-specific UI themes, and apply these consistently across all their apps?</li><li>How can we make charting and data visualization in Retool more powerful?</li><li>How can we make the apps you build accessible-by-default? How can we help builders ensure that the apps they create meet their organization's accessibility guidelines?</li></ul> WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH You'll be working with almost all Retools but will most often be partnering with engineers, designers, data scientists, and go-to-market teams to deliver products to our customers. IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL: <ul><li>Set the direction of Retool's product</li><li>Understand our customers by talking with them, a lot, interacting with go-to-market teams, and digging into product data; and communicate what you find to the rest of the organization</li><li>Collaborate with go-to-market to launch new features and products to our customers</li><li>Identify new opportunities and product areas for Retool to pursue</li><li>Measure, analyze and report to the organization on the success of our products</li><li>Help build the organizational foundations for a high-performing and growing Product team at Retool</li></ul> THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING: <ul><li>You have 6+ years of product management experience at a fast-growing technology company</li><li>You've shipped large-scope projects end-to-end</li><li>You know how you work best with engineering and design counterparts</li><li>You've worked closely with go-to-market teams to arm them to sell and to gather product feedback</li><li>You've worked closely and directly with customers, and have a knack for turning customer problems into the right product solutions</li><li>You have a strong ownership mindset to do whatever is needed to deliver the best product to our customers</li><li>You nurture a deep curiosity and knowledge of your customers and products</li><li>You think not just in terms of features but platforms and systems. You thrive thinking about how the interplay of different capabilities can open up more powerful and interesting possibilities.</li><li>You have significant experience with SQL, Javascript, and APIs. You don't need to be an engineer, but you need to speak the language of caching layers, databases, and pull requests</li><li>You have some experience with frontend development. You've at least dabbled with React, you're familiar with Flexbox (even if you have to look it up every time you use it), you've used a component library like ShadCDN, Material UI, or Bootstrap.</li></ul> For candidates based in San Francisco, the pay range(s) for this role is listed below and represents base salary range for non-commissionable roles or on-target earnings (OTE) for commissionable roles. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Retool and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors such as (but not limited to), scope and responsibilities, the candidate's experience and qualifications, and location. Additional compensation in the form(s) of equity, and/or commission/bonuses are dependent on the position offered. Retool provides a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k). Pay and benefits are subject to change at any time, consistent with the terms of any applicable compensation or benefit plans. San Francisco $150,700-$231,600 USD Retool offers generous benefits to all employees and hybrid work location. For more information, please visit the benefits and perks section of our careers page!

At Retool, Product Managers are highly flexible, technically-minded, and known for their readiness to pivot or tailor their efforts when necessary to deliver great products to our customers. As PM of the Hub team, you'll own Retool's "Admin" persona, driving all the ways that Retool customers manage and secure their Retool usage. Retool customers frequently build Retool apps that serve mission-critical, highly-sensitive use-cases: tools for updating their customers' accounts, tools for running KYC processes, tools for running internal HR processes, etc. Retool must be deeply trusted, and Retool's Governance platform is at the center of delivering on this trust. Retool's goal is to let customers "centralize governance, decentralize development." If we can provide them the right guardrails, they can more confidently let their teams build more freely on the platform. You'll build the strategy and roadmap to deliver on this goal: you'll drive the evolution of Retool's powerful Permissions system, you'll own Retool's Platform APIs, you'll build out surface areas for admins to configure their end-users' experience, and more. For example, today we're thinking about: <ul> <li>What levers can we provide to admins to help them empower their own builders and end-users? How can we help them better onboard their own users to the platform? </li><li>How can we let admins safely delegate administrative tasks to more teams? How can we break up administrative privileges in a way that maps to roles that actually exist within organizations? </li><li>Can we turn Permissions and Roles into capabilities for Retool builders to take advantage of? Can we let teams define their own user roles that can then dictate what a user is allowed to do when using a Retool app? </li></ul>WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH You'll be working with almost all Retools but will most often be partnering with engineers, designers, data scientists, and go-to-market teams to deliver products to our customers.

Interested in joining us? Let us know! WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU Retool started as a way to address obstacles with internal tools and has grown into a company that solves internal tooling for thousands of companies (big and small). We've done a lot with a little-we have a growing engineering team and a laundry list of features and foundational improvements we want to tackle. To continue our fast-paced growth, we need to build a world-class engineering team. You'll help us get there by owning end-to-end projects, talking with customers, and ultimately supporting the growth of Retool the product and the business. WHAT YOU'LL DO We're a tool built by engineers for engineers. You will work on features that impact thousands of customers globally and have the ability to change how applications are built across all parts of the stack. You'll meet with internal counterparts to enhance customer thinking and partner closely with product on building out features. You'll have a large impact on new features or improve performance on thousands of customers' applications. Retool is built primarily in JavaScript and TypeScript, Node.js on the backend, and React on the frontend. We'll look to you to bring your experience to build within this environment and impact our codebase. You'll also engage in technical decision-making with the team, participate in planning, and help our engineering team expand its skillset. To that end, you'll also play a key role in helping us grow the team through interviewing potential new team members. WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH As an engineer, you will work closely with product and design teams to build, ship, and iterate new features.

Via cell ranges, or via a lightweight, home-grown ORM?")</li><li>Help assess and recruit future engineers</li><li>Work on increasing the scalability of Retool's platform (e.g. frontend application performance, reducing query latencies) </li></ul> THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING <ul><li>6+ years experience in professional software development, ideally some of which you've spent in startups</li><li>Experience owning technically challenging and demanding cross-functional projects</li><li>Experience across the entire stack, from backend to frontend (and if you have a preference, we'd love to hear it!)</li><li>Experience with cloud based infrastructure like Azure, AWS or GCP</li><li>Ability to make technical decisions quickly, while looping in key stakeholders, too</li><li>A customer-first mindset and an interest in talking with customers to make sure what we're building meets their needs</li><li>Habit of introspection and understanding what's helped you be successful in the past</li></ul> NICE TO HAVE <ul><li>Experience in JavaScript / TypeScript </li><li>Experience with PostgreSQL </li><li>Bonus points if you have experience in mentoring other team members, and have previously worked closely with designers</li></ul> For candidates based in San Francisco, the pay range(s) for this role is listed below and represents base salary range for non-commissionable roles or on-target earnings (OTE) for commissionable roles.

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU: We're looking for an Engineering leader to take full ownership of a critical piece of Retool's strategy: our self-serve product experience.

Just like larger organizations or enterprises, these companies run on custom internal software, spreadsheets, and manual processes. And Retool provides them so much leverage, enabling the tools they need to solve each unique business problem more effectively. Our self-serve product is also a huge part of our Enterprise story, acting as an on-ramp for customers who want to kick the tires on the product with just a few use cases or users. We've seen some of our largest customers begin their journey trying Retool's cloud product before directly engaging with our Sales team-and it's on this team to impress them from their very first moments building. We've already got a team of excellent engineers in this space, working on things like: <ul><li>A completely redesigned onboarding experience, that needs to constantly adapt to new features in the core product</li></ul><ul><li>Various experiments to drive adoption of features or ways of application building, making it easier to grok the core concepts of Retool so customers can quickly get up and running (e.g., quick "do it for you" actions within our application builder and in-product documentation)</li><li>Collaborating with our Product and Business Operations teams to make the right decisions for our customers and business, helping to shape our overall monetization strategy for self-serve</li><li>Partnering with our marketing team on various programs for startups</li><li>Experimenting with bigger ideas to bring the product closer to retool.com, including playgrounds/sandboxes, etc.</li><li>...and so much more!</li></ul> At Retool, we expect a lot from our engineers: breaking down projects, making product decisions, and maintaining a relentless focus on shipping impactful work-and your primary responsibility will be in empowering, coaching, and rewarding your teams to do their best work. Day one on the job will see you managing the existing team and hiring alongside recruiting partners to tackle business needs in tandem. You'll also step into shaping key business and product decisions for Retool, where the line between PM and EM is intentionally blurred. We'll expect you to prioritize requests, talk to customers, keep the energy and tempo up, and partner with ICs making technical decisions. But one thing is squarely your responsibility: people. This isn't your traditional 'growth' engineering team focused on making incremental changes or relying primarily on experiment results to inform decisions. Yes, you will drive our experimentation culture here, but you'll also be expected to leverage your product taste every step of the way to figure out how to show the power of Retool in just a few minutes tinkering with the product. And your ownership extends far beyond just onboarding. This is foundational work, dedicated to the entire new user experience -from when a customer onboards to when they deploy their first application. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: <ul><li>Manage and coach a fullstack team of engineers; support the team by identifying growth opportunities, providing continuous feedback, and performance management as needed. </li><li>Define your team ownership and boundaries to most effectively achieve outcomes for the business. You'll work with the broader EM team to make sure your team is always positioned and staffed to do its best work.</li><li>Collaborate with product managers and product designers. We don't do many "handoffs"-we expect you to build a deep partnership with your peers that is collaborative from idea to shipping to following up with customers.</li><li>Meet directly with our customers to better understand their needs, and partner deeply with our data teams.</li></ul><ul><li>Introduce scalable, repeatable processes that help engineering and product teams deliver a successful product.</li><li>Partner closely with recruiting to strategically scale your team, prioritizing the hiring of a diverse and driven group of engineers.</li></ul> THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING: <ul><li>2+ years of experience successfully leading and managing product engineering teams; teams that ship rapidly and embrace experimentation is a huge plus (think: Growth or New User Experience teams) </li><li>Strong product sense, and the ability to take input and drive to decisions quickly.</li><li>While you're not expected to write code daily, your strong technical skills enable you to navigate our codebase and engage deeply on design and architecture.</li><li>Ability to manage stakeholders, communicate in a structured manner, and drive maximal accountability.</li><li>Successfully recruit, build, and scale teams: we expect our engineering managers to roll up their sleeves, whether it's jumping in to help with sourcing, crafting a job description like this one (hello from a fellow EM!), or selling candidates, it's on you to build your team.</li><li>Ability to operate as a business-owner, prioritizing business needs first-and-foremost, and making sure your teams deeply understand the business context in which they operate.</li></ul> For candidates based in San Francisco, the pay range(s) for this role is listed below and represents base salary range for non-commissionable roles or on-target earnings (OTE) for commissionable roles.
