Guide
About this software developer cv template
Tech recruiters and hiring managers scan a developer CV for two things: does your stack match ours, and what did you actually ship? This template groups skills by languages, front end, back end, DevOps and testing so the match is obvious in seconds, then shows each job as results with numbers (speed, users, coverage). A projects section with GitHub links gives proof for juniors and career switchers.
How to fill in this developer CV
- 1
Open it with "Edit online", or download the Word file.
- 2
Put your main stack in the title line (for example "React, Node.js, PostgreSQL").
- 3
Keep only the skills you can be interviewed on; drop anything you used once.
- 4
For each job, write what you built and the measurable result: faster, cheaper, more users, fewer bugs.
- 5
Add 1–2 projects with links, then save as PDF.
Tips for developer CVs
Numbers beat buzzwords
"Page load from 4.1s to 1.3s" says more than "improved performance".
Link real code
A tidy GitHub repo with a README is worth more than a long list of frameworks.
Match the stack
If the job says TypeScript and you use it, write TypeScript, not just JavaScript.
Skip skill bars
Percentages and star ratings mean nothing to a recruiter and confuse ATS software.
