For hiring managers on API and developer-platform teams
Platform Hire"Platform engineer" mostly means an internal platform - check your posting hires for outside developers, one job per seat.
Answer a short interview, then paste your draft posting, the outcomes, the loop and the sourcing channels. Your browser checks who the role serves, flags build work stacked with outreach work and no headcount plan, plans the interview loop around the API-design split and your interviewer hours, and checks outcomes, sourcing and pay. Then the scorecard, and the loop.
A structural check of the posting and the loop, not legal or employment advice. Review both against the employment law where you hire; the page also flags wording that screens on who a person is rather than the job.

How it works - and what is sourced
The checks follow the skill. "Platform engineer" mostly means an internal developer platform; this hire builds for developers outside the company, and the posting has to say so. A posting that stacks API or integration build work with developer marketing and content in one seat, with no headcount plan, is three jobs in one - split it or state the resourcing first.
Engineering tracks get an API-design interview judged on usability and misuse-resistance; the PM track weights scoping over coding; Partner and Integration Engineers follow a recruiter, hiring-manager and team-interview sequence. A tight budget deletes stages. Source at apidays and through senior backend or PM channels, never PlatformCon, and anchor pay to your general ladder with a named, dated source.
