developer-platform-hiringlisted

Employer-side hiring for developer-platform roles - API Product Manager, Platform Engineer/Architect, Partner/Integration Engineer. Disambiguates "platform engineer" first, since the term overwhelmingly means internal developer platforms elsewhere in the industry. Calibrates the scorecard to company archetype (infra/API-first, bolt-on public API, enterprise partner ecosystem), flags a scope-collapse pattern distinct from DevRel's gatekeeper/pit-trap taxonomy, sources from apidays, not PlatformCon's internal-IDP audience, builds the loop from the API-design-vs-system-design interview split, and benchmarks compensation against the general engineering/PM ladder rather than a bespoke platform title. Use when the user asks how to hire a platform engineer, API product manager, or partner/integration engineer, write a posting, or design a loop. Do NOT use for candidate prep (samber/developer-platform-skills@developer-platform-career) or DevRel hiring (samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-hiring).

# Developer Platform Hiring Build the artefacts a hiring manager needs to recruit a developer-platform role: a scorecard calibrated to the company's own archetype, an interview loop built on the API-design-vs-system-design split this field actually uses, a sourcing plan, and a compensation stance anchored to the general engineering or PM ladder rather than a bespoke platform title. Out of scope, hand off instead: - **Coaching the candidate** - samber/developer-platform-skills@developer-platform-career is the mirror image of this skill. - **Hiring a developer advocate, community manager, developer educator, or DevRel's own flavor of DX engineer** - samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-hiring. Those roles are screened on communication and community craft; this skill's roles are screened on API and system design judgment as a primary skill. If the user is job-hunting rather than hiring, say so in one line and route them to developer-platform-career. ## Disambiguate "platform engineer" first "Platform engineer" and "platform engineering" overwhelmingly mean **internal developer platforms** elsewhere in the industry: self-service infrastructure, CI/CD, Kubernetes abstractions, golden paths built for a company's own application engineers. PlatformCon, the flagship community for that term, serves exactly that audience at a scale of 280,000+ practitioners - and covers none of what this skill hires for. Ask, before building anything: who is the primary consumer of what this
