Senior Back-End Software Engineer

Why do we love building Make (and why you might, too)?

We’re a team of developers, and it’s second nature for us to whip up a solution with some coding. But what about folks who aren’t developers or don’t have one in their corner? They could get trapped in a monotonous cycle of tedious tasks, shuffling data around, and missing out on doing things that really matter.

That’s where Make comes in. We’ve created a space where anyone can craft powerful automations that are as intuitive and fun as playing a game. We’re here to share the buzz of creating something awesome that works like a charm and to turn everyday individuals into makers.

The Plato team builds and evolves Make’s integration development platform, enabling internal and external developers to create, publish, and maintain SDK-based integrations, and distribute integrations across Make zones. As part of the AI & Integrations Tribe, Plato drives AI-powered automation to enhance the integration ecosystem, making it easier, faster, and more rewarding for developers to build on Make.
