Software Developer ATS Resume Template
A good Software Developer ATS resume template keeps headings, dates, skills, and bullets easy to parse while still looking polished for a recruiter.
Sample JD signals
Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript
Experience with React
Experience with Node.js
Experience with REST APIs
Experience with SQL
Experience with Git
Original weak bullet
Worked on software developer tasks and helped the team with projects.
Signal rewrite direction
Rebuild the bullet around JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, then add only tools, scope, and outcomes supported by the original resume.
Missing keyword examples
Terms a Software Developer resume may need to surface
Signal checks the actual job description, so the final gap report is specific to one application.
Mirror the exact stack named in the JD — "TypeScript", "React", "PostgreSQL".
Quantify impact: load time, defects reduced, features shipped, users served.
Lead each bullet with the language or framework, not the verb.
