Resume reads like a tech stack - "Python, Go, Kafka, K8s..." - with no outcome attached.
Software Engineer Resume Writer in the United States
Engineering resumes fail for two reasons: they read like a stack list, or they read like a project diary. Recruiters are looking for impact, scope, and decision quality. We write to that.
Who this is for: Software engineers, senior engineers, staff engineers, principal engineers, and engineering managers / directors targeting FAANG, fintech, scale-ups, and remote-first US roles.

Why your resume isn't getting calls1 2 3 4 5
What we see every week.
Bullets describe tasks ("built service X") instead of impact ("reduced p99 latency from 480ms to 90ms, unblocking the SLA the team had missed for three quarters").
Scope is invisible - no team size, no traffic numbers, no business context.
Senior engineers get screened as mid-level because the resume reads like a mid-level resume.
LinkedIn says "Software Engineer at X" with no headline differentiation - recruiter search misses you entirely.
Our approach
How we write engineering resumes
Engineering hiring at competitive US companies - FAANG, top fintech, well-funded startups - is fast and pattern-matched. A recruiter looks for level signal first (staff vs senior vs mid), then domain match (distributed systems, infra, mobile, ML), then proof. If any of the three is unclear, the resume gets passed over.
We rewrite around outcomes that hiring managers can verify. Numbers go on the resume - latency, scale, throughput, revenue impact, headcount you influenced. The system you worked on is described in business terms first, technical terms second. The stack is present but not the headline.
For senior, staff, and principal candidates, scope of influence matters more than lines of code. We surface the decisions you made, the systems you owned, the engineers you mentored, and the cross-team work you led. That's the level signal recruiters and hiring managers are looking for.

Questions we get on software engineer resumes.
Do you write resumes that pass FAANG screens?
Yes. FAANG companies use both ATS keyword screens and human recruiter triage. We write for both - the resume passes the keyword filter, then converts on the human read.
I'm a Staff or Principal engineer. Do you handle that level?
Yes. Staff+ resumes need different positioning - scope of influence, technical leadership, cross-team impact, mentoring. The Executive Brand Suite is the right fit for Staff+, EM, and engineering director roles.
Can you handle resumes for non-traditional backgrounds (bootcamp, self-taught)?
Yes. The positioning is different but the principles are the same. We write the resume to highlight production-grade work, contribution, and outcomes - not where you learned to code.
What about LinkedIn for engineers?
Critical. Most senior engineering offers in the US start as inbound recruiter outreach. The LinkedIn rewrite is included in every bundle and is often higher-leverage than the resume alone.
Do you do ML / AI engineer resumes?
Yes. ML positioning is more about the problem you solved (and the metric you moved) than the model architecture you used. We write that way.
