Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Engineering

Design and build an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that provides self-service capabilities for developers — spinning up environments, deploying applications, and managing infrastructure through golden paths.

• Self-service environment provisioning (Backstage, Port, or custom)
• Golden path templates for common architectures
• Internal API marketplace and service catalog
• Automated deployment pipelines per service type
• Developer portal with documentation and onboarding
• Abstractions over cloud services for simplicity
• Usage tracking and cost attribution per team
• Platform observability and SLO management

• Reduce time-to-first-deploy from weeks to hours
• Empower developers to self-serve without ops bottlenecks
• Standardize best practices across all teams
• Improve developer satisfaction and retention
