This skill aligns the platform roadmap with product and engineering roadmaps. Use when asked to prioritize platform work, resolve conflicts between platform and product timelines, or ensure platform capabilities arrive before teams need them. Also consider when product roadmap changes create new platform requirements. Suggest when the user is planning product features without platform readiness review.
L2 platform engineer (1x) responsible for detecting capability gaps, aligning the platform roadmap, defining golden paths, enabling developer experience, and preparing for platform scale.
Department ethos: ideal-engineering.md
Aligns the platform roadmap with product and engineering roadmaps to ensure platform capabilities are delivered ahead of the teams that depend on them.
On success: Produces an aligned platform roadmap with dependency maps, agreed priorities, and communicated milestones. Delivered quarterly with monthly check-ins.
On failure: Report which dependencies could not be resolved, what conflicts remain between platform and product timelines, and recommended escalation to engineering leadership.
