Software engineer
A resume for software engineers that follows the posting, not a fantasy stack.
Most engineering JDs are a pile of languages, cloud names, and process words. ApplyFit lets you tailor your resume to the job description by promoting the languages, services, and incidents you already listed — then it writes a 120-word cover note from those same facts.

Why this posting is different
A generic GitHub-style resume loses the ATS pass when the posting asks for Java + Kafka and your top bullet is a side project in Rust. Recruiters scan for the posting’s nouns. They do not need a new employer invented to fill a gap.
What to paste
Paste the full posting (stack, systems, on-call, team size) and the plain text of your current resume: job titles, companies, dates, bullets, and education. Include licenses or security clearances only if they are already on that resume.
What ApplyFit will emphasize
- Languages and frameworks that appear in both the posting and your resume
- Production systems, on-call, and shipping cadence you already documented
- Scope you actually owned: PR reviews, design docs, incidents, mentoring
What it will never invent
- Employers, contract houses, or startup names
- Degrees, bootcamps, or certifications you did not list
- Metrics, headcount, or “led a team of N” unless those numbers are in your paste
ATS note for this role
Keep one column, spell out acronyms the posting uses (REST, CI/CD, AWS) only if they already appear in your resume, and avoid skill clouds that list tools you never used. ApplyFit will drop unmatched fluff rather than add a fake repo.
ApplyFit is a drafting aid. It does not guarantee a job, interview, or ATS pass, and it does not scrape LinkedIn. Check every line before you send it.
