Founding GTM Engineer

<br><strong>Your responsibilities</strong><p><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;">We're looking for Plato's first GTM Engineer: the person who brings RevOps to Plato as a discipline and builds our revenue engine as a product, not a ticket queue. Pipeline, conversion, and revenue per headcount are your metrics.</span><span style="font-size:14px;"><br></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;">You're inheriting real infrastructure - HubSpot as our source of truth, a custom-built deal-scoring app, call intelligence via Grain, and company-wide AI access - but the layers underneath are still unbuilt: clean data, automated process, real forecasting rigor, AI-driven workflows. That's the job.</span><span style="font-size:14px;"><br></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;">This is a team-of-one role that's essentially a sandbox: a direct line to the founders, a mandate to change how we work, and no playbook telling you what to build first. If you want to build the infrastructure behind a revenue engine from the ground up and see your own builds move real numbers, let's talk.</span><br><span style="font-size:14px;"><br></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;">What you'll actually do:</span><ul><li style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Get the data foundation trustworthy: CRM hygiene, field governance, deduping, enrichment on create</li><li style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Automate the revenue process: lead routing, SLAs, stage criteria, clean handoffs across teams</li><li style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Build the pipeline generation stack: signal-based outbound (ICP scoring, enrichment waterfalls, orchestration) so effort goes into conversations, not list-building</li><li style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Bring AI into daily workflows: call-intelligence automation, research agents, health/churn scoring</li><li style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Get forecasting and reporting to a place leadership can steer from weekly</li><li style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Make sure what you ship gets used: instrument adoption, train the team, iterate</li></ul></p><br><strong>Your qualifications</strong><p><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Must-haves:</span><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Hands-on experience architecting a CRM like HubSpot from the ground up -

not inheriting someone else's system, but building the one that doesn't exist yet, and introducing RevOps as a discipline at a company that's never had one. A direct line to the founders, real budget for tooling, and a mandate to change how the revenue team works, from day one. </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><br></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">This is an individual contributor role today - you'll be doing the building yourself, not managing a team. If this function grows as Plato scales, you'd be the one shaping what it becomes, not stepping into a structure someone else already defined.</span><span style="font-size:14px;"><br></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;">Because the function touches everything - data, process, automation, AI - you won't be boxed into one lane. If you want to see your own build move a real number within your first 90 days, this is that role.</span></p><p>Find <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.com">Jobs in Germany</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
