  DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS, AND SKILLSETS

  When recruiting for a platform engineer, it is important that organizations specify exactly what programming languages, cloud services, IT infrastructure platforms, and IaC tools are currently used, and which tools will be used in the future. General experience and expertise in platform engineering may be good enough in some situations, but specific experience and expertise are better.

  Because of the complex nature of platform engineering, the responsibilities of deploying and managing such systems typically fall to a team of talented engineers. Effective IT infrastructure, therefore, requires collaboration and teamwork. More promising candidates will have advanced communication and cooperative skills that translate well to a dynamic team environment.
