Platform Engineer

It focuses on building internal developer platforms (IDPs) that abstract away infrastructure complexity and enable developers to ship faster. With companies like Spotify, Uber, and Netflix pioneering the practice, platform teams have become a critical investment. Platform Engineers who can improve developer velocity while maintaining security and compliance are in extremely high demand.
