Built for software developers, data scientists, SREs and product engineers. Project-focused structure that leads with your technical stack and recent work. GitHub, LinkedIn and portfolio placeholders in the header.

What's different about a developer CV

  • Stack list at the top - recruiters scan for technologies, not prose
  • Each role has a stack line separate from the achievement bullets
  • Open-source and side projects get their own section
  • Education moves below experience even for mid-career engineers

Who it's for

Backend / frontend / full-stack / mobile / ML engineers at any level. Especially effective when applying through developer-first employers (Flutterwave, Paystack, Kuda, Interswitch) or international remote roles via Andela, Deel, etc.

Why this template works

  • Stack list surfaces above work experience - recruiter scan-first
  • Project section with outcomes beats long duty lists
  • GitHub + portfolio links in the header for instant verification

What's included
