Plans a developer-platform career from the candidate side - API Product Manager.

What this skill does for you

Plans a developer-platform career from the candidate side - API Product Manager, Platform Engineer/Architect, Partner/Integration Engineer. Disambiguates "platform engineer" first - the term overwhelmingly means internal developer platforms (Kubernetes, Backstage, golden paths) elsewhere in the industry; this skill covers only the external/public-API-platform track. States the key finding that splits this track from DevRel's - platform compensation rides the general engineering/PM ladder, not a separate undersurveyed one. Covers GitLab's real Partner Engineer ladder, the API-design-vs-system-design interview split, and RFC/design-doc portfolio signals. Use when the user asks how to break into platform/API product work, prep for a platform or API-PM interview, or evaluate an offer. Do NOT use for hiring (samber/developer-platform-skills@developer-platform-hiring) or advocate/community/educator roles (samber/developer-relations-skills@devrel-career).
