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!
WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU
You won't just create content—you'll craft compelling narratives that spark developer imaginations, solve real business problems, and drive our exponential growth. You'll be a key player at the heart of our customer journey, ensuring our content finds and resonates with developers.
We're looking for a content marketer who thrives in fast-paced environments, is obsessed with metrics that move up and to the right, and wants to help build one of the most transformative developer products on the planet. Perhaps most importantly, we need someone who's genuinely passionate about AI as a force multiplier for content creation and distribution—someone who geeks out about the latest AI tools, stays obsessively up-to-date with emerging AI trends, and is excited to experiment with cutting-edge approaches that help our message break through the noise.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Create content with distribution in mind, tailoring formats and messaging to specific channels for maximum reach and engagement
- Craft content designed to be easily shareable and amplifiable across developer communities and industry networks
- Expertly transform core content into multiple formats (video scripts, social snippets, newsletter features, newsletter copy, event content) to maximize efficiency and reach
- Understand the nuances of different platforms and create content that feels native to each, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches
THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING
- 5+ years of content marketing experience in tech, ideally in B2B software
- Killer writing, editing, and storytelling skills that can translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives
- Experience creating content for developer audiences

- Self-starter mentality with a history of experimenting with new tech and finding creative applications
- Sharp eye for evaluating AI tools and identifying which ones actually deliver value
- Natural curiosity about how AI is transforming marketing, with a desire to be on the cutting edge
- Experience creating content for integrated campaigns where each piece fits into a larger narrative
