You’ll be the bridge between Business & Tech - owning the technical deployment of our AI platform for new customers. From ERP integrations to AI feature enablement, you’ll make sure Plato delivers measurable value from day one.

- Practical experience in coding/development (e.g., via internship or project) and first customer facing roles
