Product Manager, Automation

Retool, San Francisco, California

What you will do

We’re looking for a Product Manager to help define and scale the next generation of automation at Retool. You’ll lead the evolution of Retool’s automation capabilities—including workflows, integrations, and AI-driven agents—expanding our platform beyond internal apps into end-to-end process orchestration.

You’ll operate in a highly ambiguous, fast-moving space: forming a strong point of view on where automation and AI are heading, identifying the highest-leverage product bets, and driving them from early concept through customer adoption. This role sits at the intersection of platform, developer experience, and applied AI—and will help shape automation as a core pillar of Retool’s product strategy. You’ll operate at the frontier of applied AI and workflow orchestration: deciding when AI should act autonomously, where humans stay in the loop, and how teams debug, trust, and scale automated systems.

The problems are open-ended, the surface area is large, and the impact is foundational to Retool’s platform strategy.
