Software Engineer Resume Templates

Indian tech recruiters at product companies (Google, Flipkart, Razorpay) and services firms (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) both skim resumes for the same signals: languages, systems built, measurable impact. This template surfaces those in the first 6 seconds — the average time a recruiter spends per resume.

What actually works

Tips that get Software Engineer resumes shortlisted

  1. 01

    Lead every bullet with an action verb (Built, Shipped, Optimized, Architected) — not 'Responsible for'.

  2. 02

    Quantify. 'Reduced API latency by 40%' beats 'improved performance'. Numbers survive skim-reading.

  3. 03

    List languages and frameworks in a dedicated Skills section — ATS bots scan for exact keywords.

  4. 04

    Show system scale: users served, requests/sec, DB size. Indian FAANG interviewers care about scale exposure.

  5. 05

    Link to GitHub / Portfolio — a working link often gets you the interview when your degree doesn't.

  6. 06

    Keep it to 1 page for <5 years experience, 2 pages max otherwise.
