Fictional example for illustration — names, employers and numbers are invented, but every bullet follows the honest formula: action + scope + verifiable result. Never copy claims you can't defend in an interview.
Lead with systems, not languages
Recruiters skim for scale and ownership signals: requests/day, latency numbers, services owned. Languages belong in the skills block; the bullets should prove you shipped things that mattered.
Quantify honestly
Use real numbers from dashboards you actually watched (latency, error rates, build times). If you don’t have a number, describe the before/after state instead of inventing one.
Match the JD’s stack keywords
ATS keyword matching is literal: if the posting says "Kubernetes" and your resume says "k8s", spell it out. Paste the JD into the free ATS checker to see exactly what’s missing.
