What a Platform Engineer does on a managed DevOps team.
Your developers are their customers. They collect what slows your teams down, build self-service tooling for it and measure whether shipping got faster.
Platform Engineer skills and technologies
-
Building golden paths and self-service tooling so teams provision without raising tickets.
-
Standardising build, deploy and environment patterns across services.
-
Developer experience work, measured in how long it takes a new engineer to ship something.
-
Maintaining the service catalogue so teams can find what already exists before rebuilding it.
-
Measuring developer experience, usually as time from first commit to first deploy.
Platform Engineer seniority levels.
Senior. Platform work pays back when the engineer building it has run the systems underneath. Seniority is one of the inputs into how the monthly fee is built.
When your team needs a Platform Engineer.
Worth adding once several teams are repeating the same infrastructure work, alongside a DevOps or cloud engineer. Platform engineers join as part of a managed DevOps team.
What we look for in a dedicated Platform Engineer.
We look for platform engineers who treat your developers as their customers. They should have run Kubernetes and CI in production, and measure success in how quickly a new engineer ships.

Questions about adding a Platform Engineer to your team.
How many teams justify a platform engineer?
Usually three or more doing the same infrastructure work. Below that, a DevOps engineer is the better fit.
Is this the same as DevOps?
They overlap. DevOps builds the pipeline, and platform engineering builds the tools your developers use to reach it.
