Retain.ai makes sense of unstructured data from dozens of systems to help companies understand how they spend time with customers. We realized that most teams don’t have a great set of tools to understand how their time and attention is divided across the systems they use and the customers they work with, so we're building Retain to give companies real-time insight into their work and activities.

Engineering at Retain

Engineering team and processes

We're a small team and everyone has broad responsibilities. We hate process for the sake of process. We set high level quarterly goals (team-wide process) and take a loosely agile approach with week-long goals sprints and weekly demos. We put product updates in front of customers every 1-2 days.

Technical Challenges

You’ll be building out a central nervous system for our customers by connecting to and translating from heterogeneous data sources; developing high-scale systems that classify and give meaning to our customers’ activities; and building interfaces to give our customers a “spidey sense” of trends in their business before problems become emergencies.

Projects you might work on
  • We offer our customers the option to grant us limited access to their email communication. How do we help them understand how much effort they put into supporting their existing customers? How should we attribute internal communication to their client? How can we do this in real-time?

  • You might work on a UI to let our clients understand which of their customers take up the most time from the engineering or support team.

Working at Retain

We ship incessantly; we value short feedback cycles and customer feedback, so we release early and often.

We believe that almost anything can be improved. We like to work with people who question why things are the way they are and strive to make them, and themselves, better.

We believe in constant growth through fewer rules, more responsibility, and frequent feedback and mentorship.

Above all, we want work to be enjoyable. We don't hire brilliant jerks - our goal is to build a community of thoughtful team players who are enthusiastic about learning on the fly, sharing their expertise, and getting things done.
