Why us for DevOps & Platform Engineering
A platform team either removes work from delivery teams or becomes a new queue for them.
Platform engineering is the discipline with the widest gap between title and capability. The market is full of people who have written a pipeline, and much shorter of people who have operated one for two years, carried a pager for it, and made a self-service platform that delivery teams choose to use rather than are made to use. That second group is what an internal developer platform actually needs.
We screen on operational history rather than tool inventory. What their error budget policy was and whether anyone honoured it, how they handled a rollback of a migration that had already run, what their platform's adoption rate was and why teams routed around it, and what a cluster upgrade cost them the last time they did one under change control.
