What makes this CV work

Hiring managers and ATS parsers look for the same signals. This example covers both.

✦

Stack stated plainly

Languages, frameworks and cloud sit in the sidebar and reappear inside bullets, where parsers weight them more heavily.

✦

System scale shown

'40k orders a week' tells a hiring manager what kind of problems you have handled. 'Worked on the checkout' does not.

✦

Delivery habits

CI/CD, testing and review practice signal how you work day to day, which is what technical screens probe first.

How to tailor it to the job ad

Paste the posting into CinnoVate and the ATS checker compares your CV against it.

1

Lead with their stack

Put the languages and cloud the job ad names at the front of your skills list, as long as you have genuinely used them.

2

Match the seniority words

Ads for senior and staff roles ask for design ownership and mentoring — say where you did both.

3

Show what shipped

Swap 'responsible for the API' for the feature, traffic, latency or release cadence you changed.
