03/30/2023, 3:13 PMAs a platform engineer myself, I can say that it’s a good list. It matches with the skills my team uses for our daily job. Some of us are stronger in observability, others in programming, and others with containerization, but in the end we all use a bit of everything.

03/30/2023, 6:12 PMI would add the need for product design and delivery at this stage. That can include business process mapping, user testing, documentation writing, advocacy, etc.
All the tech specific ones mentioned above are really good too, but wanted to raise another side of the role!
