Software Engineer Resume
Interactive SWE resume with project highlights
About This Template
Software Engineer Resume Website
A modern, web-first resume for engineers — grid-based, scannable, and credibility-forward with a clear trajectory section, project highlights, and a one-click PDF download.
About this template
This template is built for software engineers who want their resume to feel like a product, not a document. The design uses a technical grid, bold typography, and structured sections that make your experience easy to scan in 10 seconds — while still rewarding deeper reading.
The hero establishes identity instantly: your name, role positioning, “open to work” signal, and a compact tech stack strip that communicates your lane (React/TS/Node/Postgres/AWS/etc.) without forcing recruiters to dig. The primary CTA (“Start Protocol”) gives the site a slightly playful, systems-engineering vibe — confident without being cringe.
The core of the page is a Trajectory section that reads like a resume, but cleaner: roles presented as cards with dates, impact bullets, and tagged technologies. It’s optimized for what hiring managers actually want: scope, outcomes, and proof you can ship.
Below that, Selected Works highlights real projects with visual thumbnails — perfect for engineers who build UI, dashboards, dev tools, or product experiences. A skills matrix then summarizes languages, frontend, backend, and design competencies in a single glance, and the page finishes with a bold “Let’s Build” contact moment plus a downloadable PDF option for traditional pipelines.
Overall, this template helps you look senior, organized, and execution-focused — especially if you’re applying to product-driven teams.

Job Search Landing Page: A single link you can send in applications, LinkedIn, cold emails, or recruiter DMs.
Portfolio + Resume Hybrid: Ideal if you have a few standout projects (dashboards, tools, UI libraries) and want them visible, not buried.
Technical Credibility Page: The tech stack strip and skill matrix make your strengths obvious to technical reviewers quickly.
Founder / Indie Builder Resume: Great when you want to highlight 0→1 work, systems thinking, and “I can ship” energy.
Recruiter-Friendly Scannable Resume: Clear sections, dates, bullets, and outcomes — built for fast reading and fast yes/no decisions.
Getting Started
Step 1: Remix This Template
Duplicate it to get the full structure: hero, stack strip, trajectory cards, selected works, skills matrix, and contact footer.
Step 2: Update Your Positioning
Swap in your headline role statement (what you build + what you specialize in). Keep it one sentence.
Step 3: Customize Your Tech Stack Strip
Add the tools you want to be hired for — keep it tight and aligned with your target roles.
Step 4: Fill Trajectory With Impact Bullets
For each role: 2–4 bullets max, each with a measurable outcome (latency, cost, conversion, adoption, scale, revenue, time saved).
Step 5: Add Selected Works
Include 2–4 projects with a short one-line description + tech tags. Link to demos, repos, or writeups.
Step 6: Populate the Skills Matrix
Group your skills into Languages / Frontend / Backend / Design (or whatever matches your profile).
Step 7: Add Contact + PDF Download
Make your email unmissable and attach a PDF for ATS pipelines. Keep both consistent in wording and timeline.
Conclusion
This SWE resume template gives you a web-first presence that looks technical, modern, and easy to evaluate. It combines the best parts of a traditional resume (clear roles, dates, impact bullets) with the advantages of the web (projects, personality, CTAs, and shareability). If you want a resume link that feels like a polished product page — this is it.
