The Software Engineer template puts a plain-text technical skills section near the top, then frames your experience around impact and scale rather than task lists. It stays single-column and parser-safe — no sidebars, no skill-rating graphics, no icon links — because most engineering pipelines run through an applicant tracking system before a human sees the page. The balanced profile allows tasteful bold and a thin rule between sections so the page still reads like an engineer wrote it, while a dedicated Projects block lets you show range that your job titles alone do not. Lead every experience bullet with a number — latency, throughput, reliability, cost, or users — and keep the stack you list honest to what you have actually shipped. Export to PDF before you upload so spacing holds across whatever viewer the recruiter opens.
