ATS tips for this role

  • List languages and frameworks as exact tokens in a Skills section — ATS keyword matching is literal, so "JS" won't match a search for "JavaScript".
  • Lead bullets with the impact, not the task: "Cut p95 latency 40%" beats "Worked on performance."
  • Include the specific cloud and CI tools from the job post (AWS, GitHub Actions) if you've used them.
