Retool Developer

Summary

IPinfo is a leading provider of IP address data, and they are seeking a Retool Developer to enhance their internal tooling infrastructure. The role involves building and maintaining tools that improve operational efficiency across the company while collaborating with various teams to streamline workflows.

Responsibilities

• Own the internal Retool tooling stack - take full responsibility for building, maintaining, and improving all internal tools across the company, including admin UIs, CRUD interfaces, and data dashboards
• Partner with every team - work directly with teams across the company to understand their workflows, identify bottlenecks, and build tools that let them move faster without depending on Engineering for routine operations
• Build for speed, not perfection - ship working solutions quickly, gather feedback, and iterate - a tool that's live and useful today beats a perfectly engineered one that ships in three months
• Build automation, notifications, and alerting - set up workflows that surface the right information to the right people at the right time, so teams don't have to manually check dashboards or chase status updates
• Turn data into usable insights - build dashboards and reporting interfaces that give teams direct access to the data they need to make decisions, without requiring SQL or data engineering support

Skills

• Expert Retool experience - you must know Retool in and out!
• Strong data fundamentals - understands how databases and datastores work, can model data sensibly, write efficient queries, and choose the right storage tool for the job
• Proven experience integrating APIs, including messy real-world issues like auth, pagination, and error handling
• Strong Javascript and SQL skills
• Able to take a vague problem, talk to the people affected, scope it into something buildable, and ship without much oversight
• Generalist background with experience across a wide range of tools, frameworks, and problem types - you're not attached to a single stack and can pick up whatever the job needs
• Background in Developer Experience or internal platform work
• Strong product sense and attention to UX - internal tools are still products, and you care about building interfaces that people actually enjoy using
