Senior Technical Recruiter

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

It’s been a busy year: we've helped our customers build nearly-countless tools to do their business better, raised a series C, more than tripled our revenue and overall grown the business. And we've had a blast doing it. This year, we have even more exciting revenue, product, and headcount goals. Without a seasoned and exceptional engineering team, we risk Retool’s success. You’ll work closely with Retool’s TA team,  head of engineering, cross-functional stakeholders, and engineers to understand the hiring bar, but we'll look to you to drive process improvements, hiring strategy, and execution with our technical recruiting team. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

The technical recruiter will be an integral part of our talent team, helping with the primary goal of hiring world-class engineers across all of our teams and product areas. It’s an incredible opportunity to build process from the ground up while also having an enormous impact on our culture. We have big goals this year and to get there, we need a seasoned technical recruiter to identify motivationally-aligned engineers excited to build one of Sequoia Capital’s breakout companies. 

We’ll look to you to deliver best practices, source excellent and relevant talent, and grow our engineering teams to ensure we hit our product roadmap goals. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to hire the people who build the product many engineers live in daily; in fact, a lot of Retool employees were former users! As the company grows, so will our needs. We’ll leverage your skills (and hopefully your network, too!) to grow our recruiting team. 

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

The talent team at Retool is small but extremely impactful. Recruiting has historically been a team sport, and we're proud of the recruiting-forward organization we've built. You’ll partner with the team to set goals, ensure a stellar candidate experience, and achieve our aggressive hiring targets. 

We’re a diverse bunch with a variety of backgrounds: some of us come from industries unrelated to tech and others have grown up on a steady diet of Bay-area companies. We’re a dedicated hard-working group that likes to have fun and we’re looking to add folks to help us expand our culture. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

And, it might be helpful to note: we’ve returned to the office 3 days a week in the Mission district of San Francisco!
