Job Description

As a PlaTO Developer, you will be instrumental in building and evolving Syngenta's global digital manufacturing platform. Working primarily in OutSystems with our modular application suite for manufacturing sites, you will translate operational excellence requirements into intuitive, scalable front-end solutions. Co-designing with end-users, you will create interfaces that standardize processes across all sites while respecting local contexts, ensuring best practices become executable workflows rather than static documentation. Your work will transform how manufacturing professionals interact with critical operational data and you will be driving the platform's evolution from operational tool to strategic decision-support system. This role offers the unique opportunity to impact global manufacturing excellence through digital innovation, working at the intersection of industrial operations and cutting-edge low-code development.

Accountabilities

• Develop and maintain front-end applications within the PlaTO platform using OutSystems, ensuring responsive, user-friendly interfaces that embed manufacturing workflows across global sites
• Collaborate directly with operational end-users and manufacturing subject matter experts to co-design solutions that balance standardization requirements with local operational contexts and usability needs
• Translate complex manufacturing processes and data structures (ISA-88/ISA-95 standards) into intuitive visual interfaces, dashboards, and interactive workflows that enable real-time decision-making
• Implement and optimize cross-application integration within PlaTO's modular suite, ensuring seamless data flow and consistent user experience across Delay Recording, Activity Scheduling, Blocker Response, and Bad Actors Management modules
• Develop reusable UI components and design patterns that accelerate development velocity while maintaining platform consistency and adherence to Syngenta digital standards
• Support platform scalability by optimizing front-end performance, conducting code reviews, and implementing best practices for OutSystems development in enterprise manufacturing environments
• Participate in agile development cycles, translating user stories and operational requirements into technical specifications while managing development backlogs and sprint deliverables
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including UI specifications, component libraries, and integration guides to support knowledge transfer and platform sustainability
• Provide technical support during platform deployments, user acceptance testing, and post-launch optimization while gathering feedback to continuously enhance user experience and adoption.

Qualifications

• Proven expertise in OutSystems development with demonstrated ability to build enterprise-grade applications, including reactive web and mobile interfaces, complex data integrations, and custom UI components
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders, translating business requirements into technical solutions while maintaining focus on user experience and adoption
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, OR equivalent practical experience with low-code platforms and front-end web development in enterprise settings
• Strongly Desired: foundation in front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and modern frameworks (React, Angular, Vue.js, or Svelte) with understanding of responsive design principles and cross-browser compatibility
• Optional: Experience working in manufacturing, industrial operations, or highly regulated environments where understanding operational workflows and data criticality is essential for solution design
